Abstract

One of the key factors contributing to electrical failures and disruptions in transmission lines is the accumulation of dust and pollution on the surface of electrical insulators. Regular cleaning of electrical insulators is essential to remove contamination and prevent damage to transmission lines. Laser technology has emerged as an innovative method for cleaning surfaces contaminated by environmental pollutants. In this paper, a quadrotor equipped with four motors is investigated as a platform for delivering a laser cleaning system to insulators. The quadrotor is modeled to enable more realistic control simulations. The modeling and control of the quadrotor are critical components of our system's design. The dynamic simulation of the quadrotor is performed using ADAMS software, and after the dynamic analysis of the robot, the control system is designed and simulated using MATLAB. Finally, a maneuver is simulated to test the performance of the quadrotor's control system and evaluate the efficiency of the dynamic model.
