Synopsis:
This Robot is built to traverse along and around a pipe using Magnetic Adhesion. Its unique configuration allows it to rotate about the pipe to align itself in any direction. The Robot comes with a camera system to transmit live video to the user and is able to take photos of the surface of the pipe.
Description:
This remote controlled robot uses magnetic wheels to adhere to the metal pipes. Using a joint in the body, it is able to align itself along the pipe in any direction. Using an on-board camera and a 3 DOF arm, it is able to transmit close up video of the pipe's surface to the user.
