Abstract

We have been developing a conceptual design for a power distribution line maintenance robot system using a CG (Computer Graphics) simulator and an experimental robot system. This system is a semi-autonomous robot system which performs - tasks with task level instructions. We developed the design while during construction of the CG simulator. We believe that we demonstrate a possible solution to working up a semi-autonomous robot system.
