Abstract

In the previous chapter, brief descriptions of various types of mechanisms related to pipe crawling robots are provided. However, for the beginner to carry out the mechanical design of pipe-crawling robots, one needs to consider an elementary problem of moving a pipe crawling robot in a horizontal gas pipe network where the pressure of the gas can provide necessary kinetic energy to the robot locomotion.
