Delivering high quality and clean air into occupied spaces is the main goal of Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems. HVAC systems draw supply air which usually contains fungi and moisture. Duct inspection method’s application difficulties and ducts unreachable environments motivated duct inspection firms to employ robots for duct cleaning tasks. Although there are considerable numbers of Duct Inspection Robots (DIR) available on the market, they are not handy enough to be widely used by the users requiring this service. The main reason is that they are unable to operate in vertical ducts. In practical applications, one of the greatest challenges for duct inspection robots is to develop optimum adhesion and locomotion mechanisms which enable them to move vertically on various types of complexly shaped structure surfaces with various inclined bends and varying dimensions. This study focused on the development of the Duct Inspection Robot (DIR) to monitor the ducting and data collection. DIR was controlled wirelessly and equipped with a camera and lamp to catch actual visuals in the ducting. Firstly, an introduction is presented to discuss the objective of the study. Secondly, a literature review on DIRs is presented to find their requirements and limitations. Additionally, a literature review on climbing robots is presented to determine an appropriate structure for DIR. Finally, kinematic motion analysis is presented to check robot stability to move in a ventricle direction inside the duct.
