Development of an In-pipe Inspection Robot for Iron Pipes.
Journal of the Robotics Society of Japan, 1996 This paper describes a new mechanism, communication system, and vision system of an in-pipe inspection robot. To date, inspection robots have had such limitations as mobility of the robot to turn in a T-shaped pipe or move in a plug valve. The new mechanism based on our dual magnetic wheels overcomes these limitations without difficulty in control ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.An origami worm‐inspired robot achieves multimodal locomotion in confined pipelines through mechatronic integration that embeds actuation, control, and communication within each origami module. Large, reversible configuration and dimensional changes enable 25 gaits synthesized by a unified framework across peristaltic, inchworm, and wheel‐rolling modes

Development of a Wall Moving In-Pipe Robot
Journal of Robotics and Mechatronics, 2003 We propose a wheeled in-pipe robot using pendulums with magnets for visual inspection. The robot runs in-100 [mm] diameter pipelines including elbows and T -joints. We describe a prototype robot that has successfully run through level pipelines, perpendicular pipelines, and elbows, and has turned to each directions in T -joints, even through avoiding ...

A Multimodal Haptic Feedback Interface with Thin‐Film Compliant Mechanism
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Multimodal haptic devices can trigger different mechanoreceptors, enabling richer haptic information. This study presents an electromagnetic multimodal haptic device capable of delivering indentation, stretch, and vibration stimuli. The device is enabled by a novel polymer thin‐film compliant mechanism that provides high translational compliance along ...
