Abstract :
We are conducting a feasibility study on a semi-autonomous maintenance robot for power distribution lines that works using task instructions. We are analyzing the task of “switch gear installation” in power distribution lines maintenance and describing a task scenario for it. We are also designing a controller for the robot system. In the controller, the tasks are described using robot motion commands in databases and the robot motion commands are executed by agents.
