The present invention relates to a robot for removing ice and snow on a transmission line which can remove ice and snow piled on the transmission line while automatically moving along the transmission line when an amount of snowfall of a certain amount or greater is detected on the transmission line, effectively remove the ice and snow of the transmission line by a simple composition and a low installation cost, and enable remote control through wireless communication being in case of necessity. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the robot for removing ice and snow on a transmission line comprises: a main body installed to be movable along a transmission line; a driving unit installed on the main body to be close to the transmission line and providing a driving force to allow the main body to move along the transmission line; an ice and snow removing unit installed on the main body and removing ice and snow while being in contact with the ice and snow piled on the transmission line when the main body moves by the driving unit; and a control unit controlling operation of the driving unit. 본 발명은 송전선로에 일정량 이상의 적설량이 감지되면 자동으로 송전선로를 따라 이동하면서 송전선로에 쌓인 빙설을 제거할 수 있도록 하고, 간단한 구성과 적은 설치 비용으로 송전선로의 빙설을 효율적으로 제거하며, 필요시 무선통신을 통해 원격제어가 가능한 송전선로의 빙설 제거로봇에 관한 것으로, 본 발명의 한 형태에 따른 송전선로의 빙설 제거로봇은, 송전선로를 따라 이동 가능하게 설치되는 본체; 상기 본체에 송전선로와 밀착되게 설치되어 상기 본체가 송전선로를 따라 이동하도록 동력을 제공하는 구동부; 상기 본체에 설치되어 본체가 구동부에 의해 이동할 때 상기 송전선로에 쌓인 빙설과 접촉하면서 빙설을 제거하는 빙설제거부; 및, 상기 구동부의 작동을 제어하는 제어부;를 포함한다.
