Autonomous Navigation Pipe Robot With Infrared Sensors

Abstract

Pipeline has been widely used as important facilities for the transportation of various industrial raw materials, there will have leakage and broken parts in pipeline, generally, pipeline was set under the ground, it is difficult for human to detect and repair it; In this paper, it introduce a new type pipeline robot with small size, so it can be used in pipeline which has small diameter and running flexibility; At the same time, the robot has been installed with automatic operation system which based on infrared distance sensor, robot can make a judgment of pipeline condition and running automatically, it doesn't need any instructions from operator.
