By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-A patent by the inventors Morin,Franc ois (Carignan,CA),Pouliot,Nicolas (Montreal,CA),Richard,Pierre-Luc (Longue uil,CA),filed on November 16,2018,was published online on March 12,2024,ac cording to news reporting originating from Alexandria,Virginia,by NewsRx corre spondents. Patent number 11926349 is assigned to Hydro-Quebec (Montreal,Canada). The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background informa tion supplied by the inventors: "It is sometimes necessary to inspect or monitor the components of aerial electric power lines. For some power lines,these comp onents are often disposed very high above the ground,making them difficult to a ccess. One technique for accessing the remote component involves raising a human technician from the ground or having the technician scale a neighbouring struct ure in proximity to the component. This presents inherent hazards for the techni cian,and often requires that the power line be shut off. "Another technique involves sending a robot along the power line. The robot may be unable to pass over obstacles that are located on the line,such as vibration dampers,and even less to change spans by passing over the elements which hold the conductor to each pylon. "The robot may therefore be restricted to intervene only between two pylons,or it must be removed and then reinstalled on the other side of the pylon by a huma n operator."
