Zusammenfassung:This document describes the design of a concept for a pipe-traversing robot and its end-product. The purpose of this document is to describe a design and fabrication of a robot capable of traversing a dryer ventilation system in order to clean it. Speed, effectiveness, weight, and cost were all major criteria used during the design process. The primary goal for this robot is to reduce the number of annual house fires that occur as a result of improperly maintained dryer ventilation systems.
