The simulation of Semi-Autonomous Remote power distribution task robot

We are developing a Semi-Autonomous Remote Maintenance Robot for power distribution line maintenance tasks. The system is operated by task instructions; for examples, “Peeling electric cable cover”, “Remove the insulator” and so on. When the system receives a task instruction it measures the task object position; modifies the arm positions in the move commands; and then performs the task. In this paper, we will show the developed experimental system and the experiments on performing “Peeling electric cable” in a mock-up test.
