In-pipe robot with automatic wheel span adjustment

The wheeled in-pipe robot with automatic adjustment of the wheel span according to the diameter of the pipeline is intended for movement in pipelines. This robot includes a mechanism for adapting the width of the wheels according to the inner diameter of the pipe. The developed motion module can be used multiple times and thus realize a robot with a larger number of modules to achieve greater traction force.

Abstract

The wheeled in-pipe robot with automatic adjustment of the wheel span according to the diameter of the pipeline is intended for movement in pipelines. This robot includes a mechanism for adapting the width of the wheels according to the inner diameter of the pipe. The developed motion module can be used multiple times and thus realize a robot with a larger number of modules to achieve greater traction force.
