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 ...
