Design of Power Tower Climbing Robot

The maintenance of high-voltage transmission lines mainly relies on manual work. When workers climb power towers, tower climbing robots are needed to provide safety ropes. In this paper, a power tower climbing robot with a new structure is designed, and its three-dimensional model is created and simulated. Finally, combined with the motor selection in each robot component, the tower climbing robot prototype was made and tested. The designed climbing robot can complete the locking and crawl on the power tower.
