The configuration of master/slave arrangement with a power cabling connection to a central supply where the lead RCV, maps the travel path the operator requires and the slaves follow, at a nominal distance, allowing the system to navigate through a complex path whilst supporting the power cabling and minimising the pinch point of the cable. The RCV maps its travel path, enabling it to return the point of original autonomously and master/slave configuration minimises the system weight and the invention size. The RCV provide the ability to carry inspection and/or infrastructure mapping equipment into a confined space.
