The disclosed robotic system may include (1) a drive subsystem that translates the robotic system along a powerline conductor and (2) a rotation subsystem coupled to the drive subsystem, where (a) the rotation subsystem is coupled to a container that defines an arcuate volume about an axis such that the container partially surrounds the powerline conductor when the axis aligns with the powerline conductor, (b) the container carries a segment of fiber optic cable coupled to the powerline conductor, and (c) the rotation subsystem, while the drive subsystem translates the robotic system along the powerline conductor, rotates the container about the powerline conductor while the axis is aligned with the powerline conductor such that the segment of fiber optic cable is wrapped helically about the powerline conductor. Various other systems and methods are also disclosed. 所公开的机器人系统可以包括(1)驱动子系统，该驱动子系统沿着电力线导体平移机器人系统，以及(2)联接到驱动子系统的旋转子系统，其中(a)旋转子系统联接到容器，该容器界定围绕轴线的弧形体积，使得当轴线与电力线导体对齐时，容器部分地围绕电力线导体，(b)容器承载联接到电力线导体的一段光纤电缆，以
