The study is based on monitoring the parameters of High-Voltage transmission lines through varioussensors. The proper maintenance of High-voltage transmission lines is of vital importance, since any problem may resultin the interruption of electricity, with many negative impacts to health, sanitation, transportation, and safety. Preventivemaintenance is the best way to avoid problems with infrastructure, by detecting them in an early stage and respondingaccordingly with action plans for repairs or improvements. However, inspection of high voltage transmission lines is avery risk operation, as workers must move on the lines several tens of meters above the ground, in very demanding andstressful conditions. To make this work safer, sometimes the transmission of electricity is interrupted for the inspectionoperation. However, this may not be possible always, since it would overcharge other parallel lines. In times of highdemand, such as in summer and winter, the utilities may have to pay hefty fines for the reduction in capability to provideelectricity.Preventive maintenance is the best way to avoid problems with transmission line, by robot detecting them inan early stage and responding accordingly with action plans for repairs or improvements.
