In this paper an embedded computer based autonomous robot for pipe inspection is presented. Robot propulsion mechanism and power system and its protection system are designed. To avoid of getting stuck in pipe a new emergency release mechanism proposed. The practical field tests show that the robot performs well and can do pipe inspection properly and the robot moves gracefully not only at straight...
In this paper, we describe the concept, design and implementation of a series of autonomous mobile soccer robots, named ldquoMusashirdquo robot, which have safety design which is based on ISO and a mechatronics modular architecture, to participate in the RoboCup middle-size league. In modularity design methodology, we show that the selection of a proper moving mechanism, a suitable vision system and...
In this paper power and propulsion systems design for an autonomous omni-directional mobile robot which is developed for RoboCup compaction, is presented. For robot energy storage unit, lithium ion polymer battery is chosen because of its high power and energy densities, and a protection circuit against deep battery discharge was designed for it. Because the power flow between energy storage units...

In current conventional method, the sewer pipe inspection is undertaken using a cable-tethered robot with an on-board video camera system, completely, tele-operated by human operator. All commercial sewer inspection robots have platforms with poor mobility functions so that those robots are only capable to move into the straight pipes. Inspecting the sewage pipes using the state of the arts inspection...
With regard to the current sewer pipe inspection technology, all commercial robots are completely tele-operated, usually via a tether cable, by a human operator. In addition, current sewer inspection robots have a poor mobility function to pass any kind of pipe-bends such as curves and junctions so that those robots are only capable to move into the straight pipes. Inspecting the sewage pipes using...
