Abstract

This paper discusses the mechanical design considerations for the development of a brachiating power line inspection robot. The paper outlines the motivation for selecting brachiating as a mode of locomotion and then develops the mechanical user specifications for the design of an industrially useful inspection robot. The robot configuration, swinging behavior and initial gripper design are presented.
