Abstract
Systems and methods for cutting aerial objects by a remotely operated cutting system disposed on a boom tip of an aerial device are disclosed. In some embodiments, a remotely operated cutting system may be operable to translate and rotate in three dimensions to obtain an optimal cutting position. The cutting device may be configured to cut tree limbs, power lines, metal bars, or the like. A sensor may detect electrical energy in proximity to a cutting location associated with the cutting device. The cutting device may be controlled by an operator at a remote location communicatively connected to control the cutting device and view the cutting device by a camera mounted on the boom tip or the cutting system. The cutting device may further be automatically operated based on stored computer-executable instructions.
