Abstract
LineScout is a transmission line inspection robot developed by Hydro-Québec. In operation since 2006, it has been deployed on a few major grids throughout the world. Over the years, the technology has demonstrated its value for grid operators, notably by contributing to the reliability, the sustainability and the availability of transmission networks. This paper presents the latest developments and adapted systems implemented on LineScout as well as a summary on some field deployments performed over the last two years.
