Abstract

A laser obstacle avoidance system based on UAV platform is designed to achieve long-distance removal of foreign matter in overhead transmission lines. The system has a total mass of 3.25kg, of which 80W eye safe fiber laser is the critical load of the whole system. The laser output from the fiber pigtail irradiated to 5.5 meters where foreign matter gravity support, winding or adhesion sites through the optical system, the parts temperature of the foreign matter absorbed laser led to a sharp rise to 515 °C, which result in a drop to achieve the purpose of remote removal of foreign objects.
