Articulated robot system for energy pipeline maintenance

Energy pipeline transport is an important measure in energy transposition. Pipe robot can improve the efficiency of energy pipeline maintenance to ensure the integrity of energy pipelines and avoid potentially catastrophic failures. The system development of pipe robot involves a variety of technologies, which is difficult and easy to produce repetitive work. In order to reduce the development cycle of pipe robot, this paper develops a low-cost articulated robot system on the basis of extracting the common requirements of energy pipe robot application technology, which mainly includes robot node hardware, communication node hardware, control terminal App and remote monitoring platform. Pipe robot system prototype can be rapidly built by using this system.
