Vibration Analysis of an In-Pipe Inspection Robot Considering Fluid-Structure Coupling
International Journal of Structural Stability and Dynamics, 2022A fluid drive in-pipe inspection robot is an essential device for the inner inspection of long-distance oil and gas pipelines. Obstacles such as dents and welds can significantly affect the operation stability of the robot as well as the accuracy of ...

Internal pipe inspection robot
Proceedings of 1995 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2002This paper describes a new mechanism, communication system, and vision system of an internal pipe inspection robot. To date, inspection robots have had such limitations as their ability to turn in a T-shaped pipe or move in a plug valve. The new mechanism based on our dual magnetic wheels, resembling a crawler, not only overcomes the limitation but ...

Optimized Design and Performance Comparison of Wheeled Type In-Pipe Inspection Robot
2022 6th International Conference on Electronics, Communication and Aerospace Technology, 2022Pipelines are crucial in transportation, requiring regular maintenance to function correctly. Robots perform maintenance works, and each robot moves through the pipes using a different mechanism.

Autonomous Pipe Inspection Robot
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2020A pipe inspection robot is a machine used to inspect, provide real time solutions to the pipes and cleaning of the pipes (scales or the deposits formed due to the fluid flow). There are already number of designs available for the pipe inspection robot.

A study of pipe-cleaning and inspection robot
2011 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Biomimetics, 2011Pipe cleaning and inspection robot is one of the new concepts of professional service robots. Sewer pipes are typically of non-man-entry classification (less than 0.8 m diameter). In this paper, a pipe-cleaning and inspection robot specifically designed for this function is proposed.

A Small In-Pipe Inspection Robot with Integrated Holding Force Mechanism
International Conference Robotics and Automation Engineering, 2022An inspection inside narrow-diameter pipes is one of the most challenging tasks in robot-assisted inspections. To navigate pipe systems, the robot must overcome difficulties, such as wet conditions, corners-and-curves, and pipe-diameter differences, but ...
