摘要:
A system (42) for treating a columnar element (22) at a remote location (28) includes a vehicle (68) having a moveable base (98), a clamp (100) attachable to the columnar element (22), a rotating member (104), and a jack (108) having an effector (112) coupled to the rotating member (104). The jack (108) and rotating member (104) lift the effector (112) above the base (98) and rotate the effector (112) about the columnar element (22). A vehicle controller (58), remote from the vehicle (68), but in communication with the vehicle (68), controls the components of the vehicle (68). A method (186) for treating the columnar element (22) using the vehicle (68) entails navigation and positioning of the effector (112) at the region of interest (30) via the vehicle controller (58), and enabling delivery of a medium (72) from the effector (112) about a circumference of the columnar element (22).
