A Novel Modular Biomimetic Live Working Robot for Power Distribution Line

Simulation and optimization of live fish locomotion in a biomimetic robot fish

This paper presents simplified hydrodynamics model for a biomimetic robot fish based on quantitative morphological and kinematic parameters of crangiform fish. The motion of four Pangasius sanitwongsei with different length and swimming speed were recorded by the digital particle image velocimetry (DPIV) and image processing methods and optimal coefficients of the motion equations and appropria...

Autonomous robot for a power transmission line inspection

A Climbing-Flying Robot for Power Line Inspection

Our society is becoming increasingly more dependent on reliable electric power supply. Since power outages cause substantial financial losses to the producers, distributors and also to the consumers of electric power, it is in the common interest to minimize failures on power lines. To detect the defects early and to accordingly schedule the maintenance activities, the distribution networks are...

Biomimetic Climbing Gaits for a Snake Robot

Mobile robotics have long been considered a possible tool for everything from remote diagnostics to search and rescue. Snake-like robots in particular have shown significant promise in search and rescue operations due to their ability to traverse a very wide range of sizes and shapes. Such robots can crawl in spaces not much larger than the robot itself, as well as climb over obstacles nearly a...
