Wall Press Walking In-Pipe Robot

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper reviews a new wall press walking in-pipe robot. The provided design method is based on pneumatic actuators. This mobile robot can move in pipe of 300 mm diameter. In the first part of this paper, we explain the locomotion principle of the robot, and then we present the design method of the wall press walking in-pipe robot parts.
