Abstract

This paper dealt with a state-of-the-art maintenance robots for power transmission lines (PTL). The paper summarized the PTL maintenance robots that have been developed by eight major research institutions. The main features of the robot navigation were derived and classified through analysis of researches conducted by those institutions. The derived six main features were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively through readiness level assessment. For this, system readiness level (SRL) was used to evaluate the readiness level of overall system. The SRL was obtained using technology readiness level (TRL) and integration readiness level (IRL). In addition, the readiness level for each feature was reviewed through statistical analysis using box and whisker plot. In conclusion, we confirmed the status and direction of research and development on PTL maintenance robots by analyzing conventional robots with respect to six main features.
