Development of an In-pipe Mobile Robot for Inspecting Clefts of Pipes

2019 IEEE International Conference on Cybernetics and Intelligent Systems (CIS) and IEEE Conference on Robotics, Automation and Mechatronics (RAM), 2019
In order to detect out the clefts of pipes automatically, an in-pipe mobile robot is developed. This robot is designed with six wheel-type legs to make sure it can move smoothly in both horizontal and vertical directions. Meanwhile, it can also turn at cross places like T-type route.

Design and motion mechanism analysis of screw-driven in-pipe inspection robot based on novel adapting mechanism

Robotica (Cambridge. Print)
In the pipeline industry, it is often necessary to monitor cracks and damage in pipelines, or need to clean the inside of the pipeline regularly, or collect adhesive on the inner wall of the pipe, but the pipe is too narrow and difficult for humans to ...

Visualized Small-size Pipeline Model Building Using Multilink-articulated Wheeled In-pipe Inspection Robot

International Conference on Real-time Computing and Robotics, 2021
In this paper, we use a multilink-articulated wheeled in-pipe robot to develop an industrial solution for the visualized model of the small-size pipeline (less than 200mm) with unknown layout and diameter.

Designing A Frugal Inspection Robot for Detecting In-Pipe Leaks in The Oil And Gas Sector

Conference on Information Communications Technology and Society, 2023
Pipe inspection, according to the literature, is not the cleanest or safest job in the world, as inspectors must perform this critical activity in hazardous and difficult situations.

An underwater robot for pipe inspection

Proceedings Fourth Annual Conference on Mechatronics and Machine Vision in Practice, 2002
This paper describes the design of an autonomous mobile robot for use in the inspection of water-filled pipes. The design is based on ultrasonic communications, thus obviating the need for an umbilical cable. The control of the robot is distributed on a local area network which connects all the actuators and sensors. The robot has four legs, powered by

Development of a Pipe Inspection Robot

IECON 2007 - 33rd Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society, 2007
A new pipe inspection robot with GUI control panel, called NTU-Navigator, is developed in this paper. The NTU-Navigator is light-weight, modular, easy to manipulate and easy to repair. The robot can be easily controlled by using the GUI on PC. The modular design concept is also used in designing this robot.

Magnetic Tracked Robot for Internal Pipe Inspection

2021 European Conference on Mobile Robots (ECMR), 2021
This work presents a tracked robot for tele-operated inspection of the interior of variable size, multi-path and non-planar ferromagnetic pipe installations, addressing the traversability problem of unpiggable pipelines. Our main contribution is a novel flexible per-segment-cambering track, fitted with permanent rare-earth magnets.
