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), 2019In 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.

Development of an Adaptive Mobile Robot for In-Pipe Inspection Task
2007 International Conference on Mechatronics and Automation, 2007For the purpose of performing internal inspection task of pipe, a robot based on adaptive mobile mechanism is developed. The robot equipped with one actuator has two working modes, a normal working mode and an assistant working mode. Robot under normal working mode performs monitoring tasks and travels in the pipe, while under assistant enhanced mode ...

Autonomous mobile robot in pipe for piping operations
Proceedings. 2000 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS 2000) (Cat. No.00CH37113), 2002An autonomous mobile robot that can move autonomously in a horizontal pipe, a vertical pipe and an elbow joint with bending angle of 90/spl deg/. Furthermore, the robot has a vision sensor and an operating arm in front of the robot body, and accordingly it has functions to execute piping operations, such as inspection of pipe surface, welding of the ...

Helical rotation in-pipe mobile robot
2010 3rd IEEE RAS & EMBS International Conference on Biomedical Robotics and Biomechatronics, 2010This paper proposes a helical rotation mobile robot for in-pipe inspection inspired by spirochetes, a kind of bacteria. The robot is flexible and has a simple structure. Its rolling motion is unlikely to damage the inner wall of a pipe. Therefore, it could be used to inspect a winding, flexible tube with a small diameter, such as a human intestine, in ...

Mobility of an in-pipe robot with screw drive mechanism inside curved pipes
2010 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Biomimetics, 2010This paper presents motion analyses and experiments of an in-pipe robot with screw drive mechanism while it moves inside curved pipes. This robot is driven by only one motor and composed of two units. One unit works as a rotator and the another one works as a stator. Screw drive mechanism is a better way to travel inside pipelines of small diameter for

Mobility of Modular In-Pipe Inspection Robot inside Curved and L-Branch Pipes
2021 IEEE Conference on Norbert Wiener in the 21st Century (21CW), 2021This paper presents a modular design of a wheeled wall-press type In-pipe Inspection Robot using 3D printing technology. The proposed robot (Kuzhali) consists of a prismatic joint to which the modular parts are attached. This mechanism ensures that the wheels are in contact with the pipe's internal surface.

Development of high mobility in-pipe inspection robot
2011 IEEE/SICE International Symposium on System Integration (SII), 2011In this paper, we propose a steerable inchworm type in-pipe inspection robot. An extensor mechanism using continuum links makes the robot possible for both steering and inchworm locomotion. The robot has two clamper modules which are composed of a crank-slider mechanism.
