Design of the out-pipe type pipe climbing robot

International Journal of Precision Engineering and Manufacturing, 2013
The pipes in plants, including power and chemical plants, require steady maintenance, as the corrosion and abrasion by the fluid within the pipe and from the external environment occur. However, as the process to inspect the pipe is not automated, manual inspection is a very time-consuming job. Therefore, in order to reduce the inspection time and cost,

Miniature pipe robots

Industrial Robot: An International Journal, 2003
The inspection and maintenance of small pipes with diameter of 1 in. or below are important tasks given the crucial role of these pipes in various applications, including power plants, nuclear facilities, and underwater systems. Miniature pipe robots (MPRs) are moving vehicles that could take the inspection sensors to the required place inside the ...

Autonomous mobile robot in pipe for piping operations

Proceedings. 2000 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS 2000) (Cat. No.00CH37113), 2002
An 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 ...

A Pipe-Climbing Soft Robot

2019 International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), 2019
This paper presents the design and testing of a bio-inspired soft pneumatic robot that can achieve locomotion along the outside of a cylinder. The robot uses soft pneumatic actuators called FREEs (Fiber Reinforced Elastomeric Enclosure), which can have a wide range of deformation behavior upon pressurization.

Internal pipe inspection robot

Proceedings of 1995 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2002
This 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 ...
