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.
