Hardware Design of a Pipeline Inspection Robot

Abstract

Pipeline robot research has a broad prospect of application and value. Based on the study of the pipeline robot domestic and foreign and in the fully understanding of the questions and intrinsic request of the existing pipeline robot control and communication systems, a general design scheme of wheeled pipeline robot is proposed in this paper, and according to this idea, choice and analysis to the robot is made. After that, the moving carrier mechanism, the components selections and circuits of control system for this pipeline robot are designed in detail.
