On Micro Robot in Small Pipes Based on Screw Motion Wheels
In pipe micro robot based on screw motion wheels is suitable for moving and inspection inside small diameter pipes. The robot development is composed of an screws motion in-pipe moving mechanism with the driving motor inside and a CCD camera. In the paper
the motion and force analyses are made for this kind of moving mechanism. After experiments on the prototype
moving characteristics are obtained
which will provide a sound reference in the development of in pipe robot suitable for smaller diameter pipes.
