The development of an in-pipe minirobot for various pipe sizes

This paper presents a new pipeline inspection minirobot with linkage type mechanisms whose operation range allows good mobility inside the pipes having different diameters, from 50 mm to 70 mm. Our research group made efforts towards development of a prototype of the minirobot. The preliminary exper...

Zusammenfassung:This paper presents a new pipeline inspection minirobot with linkage type mechanisms whose operation range allows good mobility inside the pipes having different diameters, from 50 mm to 70 mm. Our research group made efforts towards development of a prototype of the minirobot. The preliminary experimental research emphasizes the operation in accordance with the presented theoretical concepts.
