Zusammenfassung:PURPOSE:To improve reliability and safety of a robot during its running by a method wherein the robot is prevented from hooking to the weld bead of a pipe wall and an uneven surface part through control of the angle of a wheel on the ceiling side to the same value as that of a running wheel by means of potentiometer. CONSTITUTION:A running wheel is mounted on a bearing 2 of a robot truck 1, a potentiometer 5 is connected to a steering device 4 attached to the bearing 2, and a wheel 10 on the ceiling is mounted on a support frame body 9 pivotally mounted on a gantry arm lever 6 pivotally mounted in a manner to be capable of freely rising and falling. A potentiometer 23 on the ceiling side is coupled to the wheel 10 on the ceiling and controlled to approximately the same angle as that of a running wheel 3. This constitution not only performs stable running without hooking to the weld bead of a pipe wall and an uneven surface and but also ensures stable orientation of a robot truck, whereby reliability, safety, and working efficiency during maintenance inspection, cleaning, and painting can be improved.
