In this paper, a water suction unit which removes residual water was designed and developed to obtain clear images of the inside of sewer pipes from the camera. When PEW-RO V, which was developed in a previous study, inspects sewer pipes, it cannot inspect inside of sewer pipes taken by its camera in residual water. Residual water removal mechanism consists of the water suction pump and the water suction unit. In the experiment, the location of the pump was determined and PEW-RO V with the water suction unit successfully drained the residual water to a level where the camera could acquire images.
