OBJECTIVES

To traverse a robot inside a pipe with forward and backward motion in pipe.

It should be able to move in various diameters of pipe.

The instalment of the angled passive wheels with the so that when the hands our even folded the wheels remain parallel to the pipe surface and it prevents any of the rotor part of the robot to engage with the walls of pipe while moving.

Final Project

MECHANICAL DESIGN In order to operate the in-pipe robot to perform inspection task well, several factors should be considered in the design: 1) Fast mobility 2) Good performance with minimum control of requirement 3) Small and lightweight 4) High energy efficiency To achieve these goals, we propose an in-pipe robot by combining three types of mechanisms(wheeled, wall pressing, and screw type). The first part is a wheeled mechanism because wheels can move at relatively high speed compared to the walking type and snake type mechanisms. The second part is the wall-pressing mechanism.

ELECTRONICS

HIGH TORQUE MOTORS These motors are required in the master ground vehicle so that it can successfully traverse rough terrains and slightly steep obstacles depending upon the gradient of the surface as discussed in the algorithms section.

.

It could be fitted with ultrasonic sensors and can pin point us the location of a hole.

It even has an application in painting up the old installed pipe from the inside very easily.

It could be even used for the DOSING purpose through a pipe as its pitch is fixed we could attach some material to be dosed and control the feeding of the material inside where we want.

APPLICATIONS

The robot has great application in accessing the regions of pipe in which human doesn’t have reach. It could be mounted with a GSM module which would send us message when it find any hole inside.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

There’s a major problem of our robots wobbling over its vertical axis while moving, for this we have the solution to couple the three hands together so that they open up simultaneously together leaving no option for the wobbling to happen and giving it a clean swift motion in pipe. The coupling mechanism would involve removing of the spring mechanism of now and by creating platform which would be touch all the three hands and this would be then pushed using springs to provide the required purpose of our earlier setup and as well as the coupling

The instalment of ps2 controller and a li-po battery would make our motor driving wireless and would enable the robot to be traversable in longer pipes.
