Autonomous robot for a power transmission line inspection
ISCAS 2001. The 2001 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems (Cat. No.01CH37196), 2002An autonomous robot for power transmission line inspection, that can induce the voltage from the transmission line as a power source, is presented. The robot uses current transformer principle to induce the current from power transmission line and vision function to navigate.

Signal Processing for In-Line Inspection of Gas Transmission Pipelines
Research in Nondestructive Evaluation, 1996Abstract Gas transmission pipelines in the United States are primarily inspected using the magnetic flux leakage (MFL) nondestructive evaluation (NDE) technique. However, accurate analysis of the NDE signals in terms of the underlying defects requires a thorough knowledge of various operational parameters such as B-H characteristics of the pipe wall ...

Motion Deblurring for a Power Transmission Line Inspection Robot
2006Inspection robot must detect the obstacles from the complex background according to their types when it is crawling along the power transmission line in order to negotiate reliably. In ideal cases, robot's vision system can give satisfactory results, however, motion blur due to camera motion caused by wind or other unknown causes can significantly ...

VTOL aerial robot for inspection of transmission line
Proceedings of the 2014 3rd International Conference on Applied Robotics for the Power Industry, 2014Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) have a great potential for use as they increase the reach of terrestrial teams without the increased costs of using manned aircrafts. The greatest difficulty of employing airplanes UAVs are the need of landing runways. A UAV capable of landing, take off like a helicopter, and which has the same performance as an aircraft ...
