Abstract

This chapter describes various designs of multilink mobile robots intended to move inside the confined space of pipelines. The mathematical model that describes robot dynamics and controlled motion, which allows simulating different regimes of robot motion and determining design parameters of the device and its control system, is presented. The chapter contains the results of numerical simulations for different types of worm-like mobile robots. The experimental studies of the in-pipe robots prototypes and their analyses are presented in this chapter.
