Abstract
An overhead power transmission lines are used worldwide as a part of electric power transmission and distribution to transmit electricity along large distances to the customers due to the their cost effective measure compared to the underground transmission lines. However, it's often exposed to the changes in the natural weather and may cause stress to the lines as much as material corrosion. There are many methods to inspect the destruction of the transmission line such as manual inspection such as manual inspection and aerial inspection. Unfortunately, this type of inspection has always been a high risk, time consuming and expensive work. Thus, numerous types of the inspection robot have been designed and developed for the transmission line inspection. However, the presence of the obstacles on the cables make the automation of this task more difficult. The real problem in terms of robot stability and smooth operation arises. Throughout this project, the conceptual design, evaluation and analysis for the wheel based transmission line inspection robot is presented. The transmission line inspection robot should be able to avoid or bypass the obstacles as it travels along the overhead transmission lines.
