Designing and constructing an external robot pipe crawler
A number of experimental studies have explored the concept of robots that travel both inside and outside pipe networks (Tubular pipe robot) for purposes of inspection, cleaning, or repair. The author undertook the design and implementation of such a robot as a Mechatronics student thesis project. The aim of this thesis is to design and construct an external robot pipe crawler. The design is inspired by several existing design of tubular pipe robot which has the similar behaviour to this thesis. Besides crawling on pipe, some additional features were added such as implementing a camera system as the investigator. This robot will be controlled via a computer which able to the user to control the robot and do investigation manually. The data transmission will be done via parallel port. Based on survey, this type of robot is required in the industry, which serves as the potential market for this robot.
