Development of the inpipe robot for various sizes
2009 IEEE/ASME International Conference on Advanced Intelligent Mechatronics, 2009 Pipes are everywhere; they are used in power plants, chemical plants, and gas, oil and water supply systems. An inpipe robot is developed, whose movement is copied from the inchworm in nature. It consists of two universal joints, and two clamping and one expansion devices, which use the compressed air as the energy source; the clamping devices are ...

Behavior of Dynamic Processes in Self-Exciting Vibration of an Inpipe Robot [PDF]
ISARC Proceedings, 2008 In this paper, a robot for inpipe inspection of underground urban gas pipeline is presented. The robot is developed for visual and Non-Destructive Testing of the pipeline networks. The dynamic model of an inpipe robot with a self – exciting vibratory drive and its feed – compressor with feed – pipe is presented and the equations of its movement were ...

Position Estimation of In-Pipe Robot using Artificial Neural Network and Sensor Fusion
Sakarya Üniversitesi Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü Dergisi, 2021 Water is vital for all living beings, especially for a human. Automatic position detection of water leakage in water pipelines is very important to minimize the loss of labour, time, money spent on exploration and excavation in pipe inspection procedures.
