Design of Gibbon-Like Crawling Robot for High Voltage Transmission Line Inspection

Abstract

Aiming at the existing problems of high-voltage transmission line inspection robot, such as large size, low obstacle crossing efficiency, and inability to cross over obstacles such as diversion lines and insulators, this paper presents a two-arm swinging inspection robot based on primates by observing the movement characteristics of gibbons and combining with the principle of bionics. The robot can swing cantilever on the high-voltage line to achieve obstacle crossing. After kinematics analysis of the bionic model of the inspection robot, the 3d model of the robot is established in SolidWorks. Simulation analysis of the robot is carried out through the built-in motion plug-in to ensure that the robot can achieve the desired motion effect, which verifies the stability and rationality of the mechanism design.
