High-voltage power cables are important channels for power transmission systems. Their special geographical environment and harsh natural environment can lead to many different faults. At present, such special operations in dangerous and harsh environments are performed manually, which have not only high labor intensity and low work efficiency but also great personal safety risks.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>For maintenance works that are far away from the tower, power outages are required. With the increasing evaluation of transmission quality and operational safety, and the urgent need for automation and operation of modern power systems, the contradiction between this manual operation and modern high-quality power transmission has become increasingly prominent. An effective method to replace the manual maintenance work is to use the mobile robot to carry the operation manipulator and its end tool, that is, the live maintenance robot.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Findings<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Some achievements have been made in the key technologies of live maintenance robots, the work to be done to meet the basic requirements of complex and changeable line environment and practical application. Based on the existing research results of live overhaul robot, the follow-up research will focus on the practical application needs and the frontier of scientific and technological development, and truly realize the human\u2013machine integration between live overhaul robot\u2013human working environment. Only in this way can the robot better serve the operation and maintenance of the power system.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>This paper reviews the system platform, operation function, structural characteristics and key technologies involved in the power cable robot, and the combination of live maintenance robots and modern high-tech such as big data and cloud computing is also given, and finally, the future development direction of the special operation robot is pointed out.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/ir-03-2019-0057","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,31]],"date-time":"2019-07-31T09:49:50Z","timestamp":1564566590000},"page":"711-718","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Live maintenance robot for high-voltage transmission lines"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"46","author":[{"given":"Wei","family":"Jiang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yu","family":"Yan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"An","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lianqing","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gan","family":"Zuo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hong Jun","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"140","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,31]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"key2022103114490396900_ref001","first-page":"1","article-title":"Design of automated hotline maintenance robot using haptic technology","volume":"4","year":"2014","journal-title":"International Journal of Scientific and Research Publications"},{"issue":"13","key":"key2022103114490396900_ref002","first-page":"90","article-title":"Development of an overhead high-voltage transmission line patrol robot prototype","volume":"30","year":"2006","journal-title":"Power System Automation"},{"issue":"3","key":"key2022103114490396900_ref003","first-page":"446","article-title":"Development of an intelligent inspection robot for high-voltage transmission lines and its application","volume":"49","year":"2016","journal-title":"Journal of Wuhan University (Engineering Edition)"},{"issue":"3","key":"key2022103114490396900_ref004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2241","DOI":"10.1109\/TIA.2019.2898367","article-title":"Broadcast gossip algorithms for distributed peer-to-peer control in AC microgrids","volume":"55","year":"2019","journal-title":"IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications"},{"key":"key2022103114490396900_ref005","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/TII.2019.2908666","article-title":"Cluster-oriented distributed cooperative control for multiple AC microgrids","year":"2019","journal-title":"IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics"},{"key":"key2022103114490396900_ref006","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/TII.2018.2876358","article-title":"Distributed multi-DER cooperative control for master\u2013slave-organized microgrid networks with limited communication bandwidth","year":"2018","journal-title":"IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics"},{"issue":"2","key":"key2022103114490396900_ref007","first-page":"121","article-title":"Development of the insulator-replacing live working robot on transmission line","volume":"31","year":"2016","journal-title":"Journal of Electric Power Science and Technology"},{"issue":"5","key":"key2022103114490396900_ref008","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"357","DOI":"10.1108\/01439910010373009","article-title":"Robotic applications for hot-line maintenance","volume":"27","year":"2000","journal-title":"Industrial Robot: An International Journal"},{"key":"key2022103114490396900_ref009","unstructured":"Moreira, P.L.F.
