The market is now full of all kinds of robots, for all kinds of uses, today." style="box-sizing: border-box">How much is the robot for pipeline inspection? Mainly to introduce the pipeline robot according to the classification of pipe robot.   

First of all, introduce the classification of pipeline robot, according to the different driving mode can be roughly divided into eight kinds.   

The first is the mobile robot, which has no driving device. It only belongs to the passive robot which does not need energy consumption with the fluid flowing in the tube, but its motion mode is very limited.   

The second is wheeled robots, which are widely used for pipeline inspection. At present, many commercial robots are of this type.  

The third is tracked robots, which use tracks instead of wheels.   

The fourth is the abdominal wall robot, which propels the robot forward by sticking the mechanical arm that can be stretched to the inner wall of the pipe.   

The fifth is walking robots, which move through mechanical feet, but such robots require large amounts of actuators and are difficult to control.   

The sixth is the peristaltic robot, which moves like an earthworm through its body.   

The seventh is the spiral drive, that is, the drive mechanism makes the rotation movement and the spiral moves forward.   

𝓡The eighth is snake like robots, which have many joints and move forward like snakes.
