Abstract This paper presents a modularized autonomous pipeline inspection robot called MRINSPECT VII+, which we recently developed. MRINSPECT VII+ is aimed at inspect in-service urban gas pipelines with a diameter of 200 mm. The robot consists of five basic modules: driving, sensing, joint, and battery modules. For nondestructive testing (NDT), an NDT module can be added to the system. The driving module uses a multiaxial differential gear mechanism to provide traction forces to the robot. The sensor module recognizes the pipeline element using position-sensitive detector (PSD) sensors and a CCD camera. The control module contains a computing unit and manages the robot’s autonomous navigation. The battery module supplies power to the system. Each module is connected via backdrivable active joint modules, which provide flexibility while moving inside narrow pipelines. Additionally, the wireless communication module helps the system communicate with the ground station. We tested MRINSPECT VII+ in real pipeline environments and validated its feasibility successfully.

Inspection Task

Inspection and exploration represent a challenging domain in the field of robotics because of the hazardous and limited workspace to which the robots have to adapt and because of the reduced ability to monitor and acquire data about the inspected environment. A pipeline inspection robot must ensure sufficient traction force to pull its tether cable and other equipment while travelling inside a pipeline to complete inspection, maintenance, and repair tasks. This paper presents the design of three minirobots with adaptable structure for in pipe inspection and the experimental determination of their traction force. To measure the traction force of the minirobots, the Xplorer GLX digital measuring device was used.

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.

Pipeline inspection robot is a device which is inserted into pipe to check the damages, cracks, corrosion present in the pipe. There are many types of robot available in the market like screw robot, wheel type robot. it is used for inspecting up to 300mm diameter above the pipes. this type of robot used in oil and gas field industries. Aim of robot is to perform horizontal crawling.
