Structure design and analysis of telescopic arm three claw climbing transmission line steel pole robot

Abstract This paper introduces a telescopic arm type three claw pole climbing robot, which can be used to climb circular tube transmission foot nail iron towers, thus replacing manual labor. It adopts a modular design and has good load-bearing capacity and excellent obstacle avoidance performance; at the same time, it also has a large battery capacity and fast climbing speed. Due to relying on the end mechanical claws for climbing, it also has certain operational and maintenance capabilities, and provides an effective solution for intelligent climbing operations on high-voltage transmission lines. This article focuses on the principles, design, motion simulation, and force analysis of the telescopic three-claw climbing robot.
