Pipelines are embedded in industrial sites and residential environments, and maintaining
these pipes is crucial to prevent leakage. Given that most pipelines are buried, the …

A wheeled-leg pipeline robot suitable for operation in small pipes is proposed to address the
challenges of detecting the condition of pipelines, such as solution corrosion and crack …

Pipelines have become one of the most important infrastructures in the city. Over time, they
are prone to aging, cracks, corrosion, and the demand for regular inspection is gradually …

Purpose–The purpose of this paper is to propose a high‐mobility in‐pipe robot platform and
its navigation strategy for navigating in T‐branch pipes efficiently. Design/methodology …

In this paper, we present a new design and simple locomotion strategies for a pipe
inspection robot that can travel through various pipe configurations including vertical, elbow …

This paper presents a novel in-pipe robot with two helix-angle-adjustable driving wheels.
The robot is designed based on the concept of triangular crossing section, which solves the …

Large oil and gas pipelines are prone to corrosion and leakage, so in-pipe inspection is
necessary. In this article, we show a novel robot mechanism for long-distance pipeline …

In the past five years, researchers have improvised the existing in-pipe inspection robots by
developing hybrid locomotion by combining two or more propulsion mechanism in achieving …

Since pipelines have become an important asset to the economic development of almost
any country, maintaining and conserving them is a must. Some of the methods used to …

In complex systems like aircraft engines and oil refinery machines, pipeline inspection is an
essential task for ensuring safety. Here, we proposed a type of smart material–driven …
