" style="box-sizing: border-box">Industrial pipeline robot It is a machine, electricity and instrument integrated system that can automatically walk along small pipes inside or outside, carry one or more sensors and operate machinery, and carry out a series of pipeline operation under the remote control of workers or computer automatic control.

I. classification of pipeline robots

According to the d🅷ifferent driving modes of pipeline robots,🧸 they can be roughly divided into eight types.

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 flow in the tube, but its motion mode is very limited.

The second is wheeled robots, which are widely used for pipeline inspection. 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 st♛icking the mechanical arm that can be stretched to the inner walꦿl of the pipe.

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

The si🌃xth is the peristaltic robot, which moves like an earthworm 🃏through its body.

The seventh is the spiral d🅰rive, that is, the drive mechanism ma🤪kes the rotation movement and the spiral moves forward.

The eighth is snake like 🐼robots, 🤪which have many joints and move forward like snakes.

In addition, some robots have various driving modes. Of course, with the development of science and technology, more and more types of technology will be created.
