description Abstract Transmission lines may suffer from pin defects, necessitating regular patrols and maintenance. The traditional maintenance approach not only involves a substantial workload and low efficiency but also poses a threat to the safety of maintenance personnel. To address the issue of pin defects in high‐voltage transmission lines, this paper introduces the design of an intelligent pin‐eliminating robot. The research focuses on two main aspects: firstly, analyzing the transmission line environment and employing Solidworks software to design the mechanical structure of the robot. Subsequently, a static stress analysis of the robot's structure is conducted to ensure the rationality of the design. The second aspect addresses the impact of the robot on the electric field distribution of the transmission line in high electric field intensity areas and whether the robot itself experiences discharge phenomena. COMSOL simulation software is utilized to globally calculate and analyze the electric field of the robot. Research results indicate that the threshold for the curvature radius of the pin‐eliminating robot's tip is 2.5mm, and values below this threshold may lead to the occurrence of discharge phenomena. The optimized pin‐eliminating robot, under normal operation, does not exhibit discharge phenomena in a 500kV strong electric field.
