Internal pipe inspection robot
Proceedings of 1995 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2002This 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 ...

Automated pipe inspection robot
Industrial Robot: An International Journal, 1997Automated inspection of the inner surface of a pipe can be achieved by a mobile robot. Pipe inspection is necessary to locate defects due to corrosion and wear while the pipe is transporting fluids. Pipe inspection devices are available for these tasks; they commonly use ultrasonic or magnetic flux variation to detect defects.

Robotic Corrosion Inspection Crawler
CORROSION 1990, 1990Abstract The inspection of corrosion damage for piping systems both underground and in buildings is required to make repair decisions. It is difficult to inspect and diagnose the outside of underground piping, because the pipe is usually enclosed in casing or in insulation.
