Abstract
Researchers develop a robot capable of climbing on a perpendicular branched piping and moving on the ceiling in the piping with radio control. The inspection robot adheres to the piping using the magnetic adsorption force of a magnetic crawler.
The crawler should be composed of magnets that have optimal adsorption force. In order to design the crawler, the magnetic adsorption force is analyzed. The design method of the inspection robot in the piping is shown. The robot mounts a radio control unit and a compact radio camera so as to inspect inside of piping.
