A Low‐Cost Curvature Detection Method for an Untethered Biped Pipeline Climbing Robot with Energy‐Efficient Strategy

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A low‐cost pipeline curvature detection method has been proposed for an untethered biped pipeline surface climbing robot (BPCR) system with a five‐degree‐of freedom structure. The BPCR features adaptive vacuum suction cups equipped with multiple laser sensors on the suction modules to detect the curvature of various surfaces.
