Hi,
I am Koh Seng Yau, a final year student studying mechanical engineering at Universiti Tenaga Nasional (UNITEN) in Malaysia. I am currently carrying out my Final Year Project (FYP2). This project is on the Development of Mobile Robot for Inspection on Power Transmission Lines. This Mobile Robot can navigate power transmission lines completely unattended by human operator and its ultimate purpose is to automate the inspection of power transmission line equipment.
The development of this kind of project though it's rare but it's not unattainable in Malaysia and is deemed to have spacious room for improvement and progress. Recently, this project has been selected to take part in the 2nd International Conference on Control, Instrumentation and Mechatronic Enginnering which scheduled in June 2009, a conference where researchers, scientists, academicians, engineers working in areas related to automation, process, scientific research and analysis exchange knowledge.
Hence, the purpose of posting this short write-up is to seek funding from companies or organizations that are interested in the development of this project. The budget for developing this project is estimated to be around RM200,000 (approximately USD50,000). A detailed proposal may be sent or mailed upon request.
