Mechatronic Approach in Inspection of Water Supply Networks

  • Conference paper
Mechatronics - Ideas for Industrial Application

Part of the book series: Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing ((AISC,volume 317))

Abstract

The paper describes design process of the two inspection robots. Both are able to work in water environment. There is provided problem statement which cause need of designing robots and solution for it. The paper presents exemplary usage of the robots and sample results of inspection tasks. The inspection process and equipment can be different for each robot. Common assumption in design of both robots was versatility of the construction. Tank inspection robot can be set in two different configuration with two different inspection equipment. Pipe inspection robot has configurable construction of tracks arms which enables work in different conditions.
