管道存在于我们周围的大多数基础设施中-炼油厂，化工厂，发电厂，更不用说下水道，天然气和水分配网络。这些管道的检查是极其重要的，因为故障可能导致灾难性的事故和生命损失。然而，由于缺乏令人满意的工具，小管道（3至6英寸）的检查通常被忽视或仅部分执行。本文介绍了一种新的系列机器人命名PipeTron，专门为炼油厂和发电厂的管道检测开发。将介绍每个版本的机动性概念和设计，随后介绍外地部署的结果和今后改进的考虑。
Pipes are present in most of the infrastructure around us - in refineries, chemical plants, power plants, not to mention sewer, gas and water distribution networks. Inspection of these pipes is extremely important, as failures may result in catastrophic accidents with loss of lives. However, inspection of small pipes (from 3 to 6 inches) is usually neglected or performed only partially due to the lack of satisfactory tools. This paper introduces a new series of robots named PipeTron, developed especially for inspection of pipes in refineries and power plants. The mobility concept and design of each version will be described, follower by results of field deployment and considerations for future improvements.
