Mobile Robot For Pipe Inspection And Maintenance

摘要

Mobile mechanical devices working with inspection and maintenance of pipes in electrical power plants might become useful to E.D.F. A specific field in mobile robotics, with its proper know-how and complications, is being developed. Simulations of different aspects of robot conception are presented : - environment modelling, - kinetics : modelling which can include closed chains, - navigation and obstacle avoidance : sensor choice and positionning, strategy control.
