Multifunctional Mobile Units with a same platform for in-pipe inspection robots
2008 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2008Robots are efficient and economic for in-pipe inspection tasks. In this paper, we deal with versatility and multifunction of in-pipe inspection robots. A versatile platform equipped with one driving motor is the main body of multifunctional mobile unit (MMU) that performs inspection tasks.

NDT inspection mobile robot with spiral driven mechanism in pipes
IEEE ISR 2013, 2013This paper describes an NDT inspection mobile robot to drive 100m away with inspection module in 10cm pipes. A spiral driven mechanism was adopted to obtain a high traction force. The inspection module was made with a camera and four laser sensors. This module can find out 1mm size defects with a laser image sensor and recognize damages of the pipes ...

Micro mobile robot system for inspection between pipes
SPIE Proceedings, 2002Industry inspection is an important emerging usage of microrobots. This paper presents the design, fabrication, control and performance of an onmi-directional micro mobile robot, which is driven by three-phase electromagnetic micromotors. The microrobot has a volume of 9.5mm X 9.5mm X 9.5mm, and includes three micromotors (5mm in diameter) fabricated ...

3D pipe reconstruction employing video information from mobile robots
Applied Soft Computing, 2019Abstract The development of a virtual scenario is desirable in many hostile environments such as in mining or sewer pipelines to inspect its current condition and to identify possible failures. Obtaining a virtual image through the reconstruction of the mineshaft or the inner pipe is a valuable tool for assessment and fault detection.
