Resumo
This paper presents a two legs mobile robot to be used in the inspection and maintenance of the power transmission lines. First is performed a revision of existing robots and presented the main obstacles in power transmission lines. After, is presented the robot characteristics and the proposed methodologies to cross/surmount obstacles. Finally, the three-dimensional graphic simulations of the robot and experimental tests are presented.
