A snake robot is expected to be used for searching narrow space in disaster sites and inspecting ducts and pipes on daily use. In the previous study, bending helical rolling motion is proposed as a method for moving a snake robot in a bent pipe. In the actual pipes in the plant, not only straight pipes and bent pipes but also branch pipes exist. A snake robot need to be able to move branch pipes in order to move freely pipes in a plant. In this paper, bending helical rolling motion is used as a method for moving branch pipes.
