Development of an inspection robot for small diameter distribution mains
This work discusses the design and construction of a robot for moving in small diameter pipes (down to 57 mm inside diameter), capable of negotiating curves, diameter changes, sharp bends and T-joints, intended for (semi) autonomous inspection of gas distribution mains. A number of fundamental design changes and improvements will be shown with respect to earlier designs. The new design is fully...
متن کاملMulti-Objective Design Optimization of the Leg Mechanism for a Piping Inspection Robot
This paper addresses the dimensional synthesis of an adaptive mechanism of contact points ie a leg mechanism of a piping inspection robot operating in an irradiated area as a nuclear power plant. This studied mechanism is the leading part of the robot sub-system responsible of the locomotion. Firstly, three architectures are chosen from the literature and their properties are described. Then, a...

Summary The gas distribution network in the Netherlands has a length of roughly 100 000 km in urban areas. This network needs to be monitored constantly and segmen...
متن کاملVehicle Suspension Inspection by Stewart Robot
The suspension system of a vehicle is one of the most important parts which is involved in the process of vehicle designing. When a vehicle suspension system is designed, the evaluation of its performance against the road disturbances such as shocks and bumps are very important. The most commonly used systems consist of four hydraulic Jacks with mobility in vertical line with low speed and l...
متن کاملDevelopment 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...
