An experimental robot system for power distribution line maintenance robots - System architecture and bolt insertion experiment -

Abstract

We are developing a conceptual design for a power distribution line maintenance robot system using a CG (computer graphics) simulator and an experimental robot system. This system is a semi-autonomous robot system that performs tasks using task-level instructions. An operator directs the tasks, for example inserting a bolt into a hole, and clicks the work objects ldquoBoltrdquo and ldquoHolerdquo in the picture on the display with a mouse.
