In-pipe inspection robots (IPIR) have been introduced to perform accurate and improved automated inspection of pipes. Several designs of IPIRs have been proposed in the literature to overcome issues related to inspection of complicated internal geometries. Tasks assigned to these robots have the added complexity of pipes changing shape and size, obstacle avoidance and steering, and safe operation with guaranteed retrieval of the robot. Although many types of the robot have been proposed and used, their drawbacks continue to include the inability to make turns and move in varied diameter sized pipe. This applied research proposes an improved design of an autonomous IPIR that can move through pipes of different orientations relative to gravity and of changing sizes and geometries to perform inspection tasks. The results expected from this work is to provide a platform for an IPIR that can be developed further to perform other complex and demanding tasks.
