Design and Development of In-Pipe Inspection Robot

Design of Inspection and Cleaning Robot

In power plants, there are several places such as vessels, surface, nozzle pipes which need to be inspected and cleaned regularly. To ensure the integrity of power plant, these various places must be periodically inspected using ultrasonic sensors and visual cameras. The surfaces and many parts of the plant should be cleaned as many times as required to prevent contaminations. Cleaning of power...

Development of spherical ultrasonic motor for pipe inspection robot

We present a pipe inspection robot using a newly developed spherical ultrasonic motor (SUSM) as a camera actuator. The novel SUSM has improved the range of movement compared to previous SUSMs, and the robot can point a camera in any direction. In this study, we determined a method for controlling the rotational direction and strategic control from the kinematics and characteristics of ultrasoni...

Investigation of Design & Fabrication of In-Pipe Inspection Robot

This paper proposes an in pipe inspection robot with the wall-pressing force adjustment using DC motor. It is developed for long distance inspection in sea-water pipelines such as horizontal pipelines and slope pipelines with large variable diameters from 600mm to 800mm. Its mechanical design consists of two modules as driving module and control module. The driving module has three pantograph t...
