Abstract A pipe is a most commonly used product in the daily operations of industrial plants. Boiler pipes and inner ribs reduce pollution, allowing industrial plants to be both environmentally friendly and economically efficient. However, if these pipes are damaged, it will cause a huge problem for humans and ecological imbalances. Therefore, an inside inspection of a pipe is most necessary, regular duty being conducted by a surveyor of the plant. Pipe inspection includes checking for cracks, defects, leaks, corrosion and blockages in a region. However, an individual cannot do this inspection due to life-risk impact, and there is a necessity for human intelligence. This proposed robot design helps inspect a portion of the building in less time than the entire vision. In addition, the view can be recorded and easily the damaged or blocked portions of the pipe.

In recent days, most of the industries are facing many problems to find out damages inside the pipe line. The pipe inspection Robot was made to avoid this problem and to find out the exact place of damage and to reduce the time of evaluating, repairing and managing of interior surface pipes. One of the most important requirements in inspection, repairing and maintenance of interior pipelines is the ability to monitor and evaluate interior surface of pipes. This research work deals with the modelling of robot for inspection, cleaning, maintenance to evaluate the interior surface piping systems. The design of pipe inspection robot has been done in NX Cad (UNIGRAPHICS).the robot is designed in such way that it can be used for different pipe diameters. The design and development of pipe inspection robot involves a mechanism which in turn is connected to two opposite sides of frame of links, joints and wheels. So by using this pipe inspection robot one can find out the exact location of damage inside the pipe, so that it will be very easy to resolve the problem.

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.
