ANALYSIS AND CONTROL OF MOBILE ROBOT FOR PIPE LINE INSPECTION

Abstract

Analysis and control of Mobile Robot for pipeline inspection requires design of a robot equipped with the required sensors. In this work the velocity and acceleration analysis of four bar mechanism used to operate the robot has been investigated. The robot is controlled with micro control 8051 which has two part the transmitter section and receiver section. The transmitter section consist of four switch to give four order and receiver section connected with global system mobile to operated mobile robot after receive order to starting work and sending message if mobile robot detected any obstacle. The receiver section also contains infra sensor IR it work beside (GSM) global system mobile to detected obstacle. The use of GSM helped in building interactive capabilities thereby decrease the time taken for addressing the problem.
