A hot-line manipulator remotely operated by the operator on the ground

摘要

A trial model has been completed of what may be called the next generation "overhead hot-line work robot". Kyushu Electric Power Company, Inc. has been involved in developing it. This model is the first step towards a fully self-controlled robot of tomorrow. It is semi-automatic and remote-controlled from the ground with camera "eyes" closely observing.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
