Ventilation ducts has become important in urban high airtight houses. However, due to the long-term use of ducts, dust accumulates inside. Therefore, cleaning inside the duct is required. In the conventional cleaning method, there is a method of pushing the cleaning tool inside the duct. In this method, the deep portion of the duct cannot be cleaned by the friction between the cleaning tool and the inner wall of the duct. Also, cleaning time is limited. Therefore, the authors propose a peristaltic motion type robot for duct cleaning using a high contraction unit as a method of cleaning up to the deepest part of a duct in a limited time.
