Abstract

Pipe inspection robot are used to monitor, inspect and maintain inner pipe conditions. In this paper, a wall-press type platform is fabricated. It consists of three sections that is camera section, front driving module section and back driving module section with a total length of 542mm and maximum expansion diameter of 230mm. Wall-press type has the advantage to varies its maximum diameter. Camera section located in front of the robot to provide 180 degrees unobstructed vision of the inner pipe conditions. Two driving modules prevent robot from being obstruct by obstacles. Arduino microcontroller is used to control the robot operation and GUI is used to operate it. Actuator used are DC micro metal geared motor, DC motor and micro servo motor. Overall. this robot is able to successfully climb a slope not more than 30degree. However, sensors need to be implemented to detect the maximum pipe diameter.
