The Mechanism of a Snake-Like Robot's Clamping Obstacle Navigation on High Voltage Transmission Lines

In this paper, the methods of a snake-like robot climbing on high voltage transmission lines are presented. The three typical locomotion modes of a snake-like robot, that is, rectilinear locomotion with a Z shaped clamping mechanism, obstacle navigation locomotion with a head part clamping mechanism...
