ABSTRACT:
An apparatus (60) for actuating a well tool (148) in a wellbore includes a downhole robot (62) that provides for locomotion within the wellbore (144). A pressure control member (64) having a deployed position is operably associated with the downhole robot (62). An engagement mechanism (66) is operably associated with the downhole robot (62) and releasably engages with the well tool (148) such that when the engagement mechanism (66) engages the well tool, the pressure control member (64) is in the deployed position and a differential pressure is created across the pressure control member (64), the downhole robot (62) transmits a longitudinal force to actuate the well tool (148).
