摘要： Stabilization mechanisms may include at least one gripper mounted to a powerline-crawling robot, which may be configured to grasp a powerline supporting the powerline-crawling robot. At least one controller may be configured to control a lateral position of the at least one gripper. At least one inertial measurement unit may be configured to sense at least one of lateral movement and axial rotation of the powerline-crawling robot. The controller may control the lateral position of the gripper based on data from the inertial measurement unit. Various other related systems, devices, mechanisms, and methods are also disclosed.

摘要： The disclosed system may include (1) a drive subsystem that translates along a powerline conductor, (2) a rotation subsystem that rotates a segment of fiber optic cable about the powerline conductor while the drive subsystem translates along the powerline conductor such that the segment of fiber optic cable is wrapped helically about the powerline conductor, and (3) an extension subsystem that (a) mechanically couples the rotation subsystem to the drive subsystem, and (b) selectively extends the rotation subsystem away from the drive subsystem and the powerline conductor to avoid obstacles along the powerline conductor. Various other systems and methods are also disclosed.

摘要： The disclosed robotic system may include (1) a drive subsystem that translates the robotic system along a powerline conductor and (2) a rotation subsystem coupled to the drive subsystem, where (a) the rotation subsystem is coupled to a container that defines an arcuate volume about an axis such that the container partially surrounds the powerline conductor when the axis aligns with the powerline conductor, (b) the container carries a segment of fiber optic cable coupled to the powerline conductor, and (c) the rotation subsystem, while the drive subsystem translates the robotic system along the powerline conductor, rotates the container about the powerline conductor while the axis is aligned with the powerline conductor such that the segment of fiber optic cable is wrapped helically about the powerline conductor. Various other systems and methods are also disclosed.

摘要： The disclosed systems for suspending cable (e.g., fiber optic cable) from an overhead powerline may include a payload subsystem for housing and dispensing a cable, a rotation subsystem for winding the cable around the powerline, an extension subsystem for raising at least a portion of the payload subsystem vertically upward from the powerline, a stabilization subsystem for stabilizing the system at least when the payload system is extended away from the powerline by the extension subsystem, and a drive subsystem for driving the system along the powerline. Various other related systems, devices, mechanisms, and methods are also disclosed.
