Development of a Low Cost Small Sized In-Pipe Robot.

The paper is structured as follows: in the first part the proposed in pipe inspection minirobot’s structure is presented and the rage of pipe diameters to which the robot can adapt is determined. In the second part of the paper is presented as follows: simulation of the in pipe minirobot, driving.

The 'Global and Chinese In-pipe Inspection Robot Industry, 2013-2023 Market Research Report' is a professional and in-depth study on the current state of the global In-pipe Inspection Robot industry with a focus on the Chinese market. The report provides key statistics on the market status of the In-pipe Inspection Robot manufacturers and is a valuable source of guidance and direction for.

Abstract: The paper presents the development of a smart sensor system that is used for measuring pipe network parameters. The developed sensor is intended for use with in pipe inspection robots that can independently explore and evaluate the constructive parameters and the condition of the pipe network.

A research effort to develop such a system was presented. The pipeline inspection robot is essentially a battery powered, train-like platform. The on-board intelligence gives the platform the benefit of an engineer steering the train through the complex pipe geometry. The system requires a very simple launch and retrieval station that is.

Pipe inspection is necessary to locate defects due to corrosion and wear while the pipe is transporting fluids. This ability is necessary especially when one should inspect an underground pipe. In this work, Pipe Inspection Robot (PIR) with ability to move inside horizontal and vertical pipes has been designed and fabricated. The robot consists.

Feeder Pipe Inspection Robot with an Inch-Worm Mechanism Using Pneumatic Actuators 89 which has various harsh conditions that require a large force such as a large slope of the pipe and a cable tension force. The material forces generated by piezoelectric or magnetostrictive materials is a good.

This paper presents the classic structure features and characters of the two categories of IPIRs, and furthermore compares their own advantages and limitations, as well as performances of each type IPIR. Ultimately, it is concluded that the multiple locomotion type In-pipe inspection robot has become increasingly current developing trend.

Abstract: In-pipe robot are important research topics to achive automated pipeline cleaning. However, the variety of pipe diameter restricted the development of various types of pipe robot. In this paper, a new pipe cleaning and inspection robot based on ATmega64 is developed for long distance cleaning of pipelines with different diameter series.

We present a pipe inspection robot using a newly developed spherical ultrasonic motor (SUSM) as a camera actuator. The novel SUSM has improved the range of movement compared to previous SUSMs, and the robot can point a camera in any direction. In this study, we determined a method for controlling the rotational direction and strategic control from the kinematics and characteristics of.

Pipe Inspection Robots for Structural Health Monitoring Pipe Inspection Robots for Gas and Oil Pipe-lines A lmost all the energy related utilities like fuel, gas or oil supply lines and power generation sources such as nuclear and thermal power plants and so forth require an extensive network of pipelines for various transportation purposes.

In this paper, we propose a steerable inchworm type in-pipe inspection robot. An extensor mechanism using continuum links makes the robot possible for both steering and inchworm locomotion. The robot has two clamper modules which are composed of a crank-slider mechanism. The mechanism makes the robot compact and adaptable to pipe diameter.

This paper is organized as follows. Section II describes the power sources of pipe inspection robot. Section III describes review of in-pipe inspection robot. Section IV describes the comparative analysis of existing in-pipe inspection robot. Section V describes the need of different mechanisms. Section VI describes development of.
