The current demand of applications based on robotics, in the energy industry, is due to the multiple solutions it offers to reduce risks. One of these applications is the visual inspection of assets used in maintenance processes. This investigation refers to the risks that exist in the absence of operators in hydroelectric power plants for the execution of visual inspections, emphasizing the current problems traveling to the power plants. Based on these motions, the thesis presents the development process of a solution based on the adaptation of a robot arm with four degrees of freedom for the inspection of interiors in hydroelectric power plants on a mobile robot, using the needs of a real hydroelectric power plant as a reference. The research work evaluated the design of a prototype of a robot arm aimed at facilitating field operators to carry out visual inspections of the interiors of a plant to provide an immediate response to emergencies without having to travel and avoiding risks due the context of the country. The prototype focuses on the evaluation of materials for the mechanical design, being the ABS material which meets the criteria of the infrastructure and environment of the plant and the design limitations. The prototype was adapted to a mobile base and complied with an appropriate behavior in relation to the movement and gave an adequate support to the coupled components required for the teleoperated inspections.
