Design of a remote-controllable pipeline inspection robot with a robotic arm

Abstract

At present, urban pipelines often have the characteristics of intricate pipeline networks. Using pipeline robots to inspect pipelines is a method with better safety, higher efficiency and lower cost. In this paper, a robotic arm control method with the smallest motion path is obtained based on the inverse solution of the robotic arm, and based on this method, a detection robot with a robotic arm and a camera that can be controlled remotely is implemented. The robot can perform high-pressure cleaning and other actions in the pipeline, and realize remote information interaction through the Wifi module, and display the pipeline screen, which is convenient for users to change the robot's motion state.
