The mobile robot walks on overhead power line transmission system. Its ultimate purpose is to automate The robot shall be able to withstand a smaller amount of to inspect the defect of power transmission line. The robot rain and wind during normal operation. The robot shall with 6 motors is composed of one arms, four wheels and a withstand temperatures from -40 - +60 degrees Celsius. glue gun mount on the arm. A prototype robot was developed with careful considerations of mobility. The main 2.4 Mechanical shock purpose of this paper is to solve the problems in transmission lines. Out of all problems we deal with the The robot shall be able to withstand a reasonable amount problem, failing of compression line splices. We solve this of mechanical shock during operation. The robot shall be problem by using a glue gun arrangement in the kit. able to withstand a substantial amount of mechanical shock during storage in long-term storage container. Key words: Microcontroller, robot, Bluetooth, glue gun, transmission line. 2.5 Accessibility
1. INTRODUCTION
All components, including the batteries, shall be quickly and easily accessible for measurements, repair and replacement.
Continuous power supply is the symbolism of the developed countries. The transmission lines are posed from remote places to densely populated areas. These remote places include hilly areas, forests, and lakes. Whenever a problem occurs on these transmission lines, it becomes difficult to identify the problem and more overly highly risky one to clear these problems. To eradicate these problems we are introducing a robot that mounts on the transmission lines that inspects the problem and clear these problems.[1]
3.COMPONENTS REQUIRED: 3.1 Power supply The robot shall be equipped with batteries, providing enough power for at least 30 minutes of robot operation. The device shall deliver enough power for the robot to be able to charge its batteries [13].
2. HARDWARE REQUIREMENT
3.2 Microcontrollers:
Hardware requirements also include requirements on software in local microprocessors in sensors and other subsystems.
A microcontroller is a small computer on a single integrated circuit. In modern terminology, it is a System on a chip . A microcontroller contains one or more CPUs along with memory and programmable input/output peripherals. Program memory in the form of Ferroelectric RAM, NOR flash or OTP ROM is also often included on chip, as well as a small amount of RAM.
2.1 EMC Hardware used in the robot shall be designed for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), to ensure proper operation at the extreme conditions close to live power lines.[9]
3.3 AT Mega 328P: The ATmega48A/PA/88A/PA/168A/PA/328/P is a lowpower CMOS 8-bit microcontroller based on the AVR enhanced RISC architecture. ATmega48A/PA/88A/PA/168A/PA/328/P achieves throughputs approaching 1 MIPS per MHz allowing the
2.2 Safety Any mechanical or electrical system or feature on the robot shall be designed with the safety of people and equipment in mind.
