Peristaltic Soft Robot for Long-distance Pipe Inspection with an Endoskeletal Structure for Propulsion and Traction Amplification

R. Okuma, Y. Naruse, F. Ito, T. Nakamura

IROS 2024poster

This study proposed a peristaltic motion-type inspection robot equipped with a "linear antagonistic mechanism using artificial muscles with an endoskeletal structure" to amplify propulsion and traction. We sought to develop an in-pipe inspection robot for long, narrow, and complex pipes requiring la…

Proposal of a Peristaltic Motion Type Duct Cleaning Robot for Traveling in a Flexible Pipe

F. Ito, T. Kawaguchi, M. Kamata, Y. Yamada, T. Nakamura

IROS 2019poster

The cleaning of residential ventilation ducts is necessary to prevent damage to health. However, since residential ventilation ducts are usually thin and curved, cleaning them is difficult. It is also difficult to obtain thrust within the duct using a wheel or a snake type robot because it is hard t…
