Zusammenfassung:	There is provided a mechanical avatar assembly (10) for use in a confined space (14) in a structure (16). The mechanical avatar assembly (10) includes a rail assembly (56) for attachment to an access opening (230) to the confined space (14). The rail assembly (56) includes two or more rail segments (58) coupled together to form an elongated base (62) having a rail (90) and a gear rack (106) extending along a length (64) of the elongated base (62). The rail assembly (56) further includes a carriage portion (120) coupled to the rail (90), and movable relative to the rail (90), and a drive assembly (136) coupled to the carriage portion (120) and to the gear rack (106), to move the carriage portion (120) along the rail (90). The mechanical avatar assembly (10) further includes an articulating avatar arm (180) coupled to, and movable via, the carriage portion (120). The mechanical avatar assembly (10) further includes an image capturing device (210).
