Wheeled locomotion inside pipeKeywords: in-pipe machine , locomotion , pipe inspection , mechatronics Abstract: The paper deals with wheeled in-pipe micromachine which locomotes in pipes with inner diameter from 36 to 38 mm. The micromachine is driven with DC motor. Prototype of micromachine has several weaknesses, which causes falling-off micromachine performance properties. There is analyzing of possible ways how to improve these prototype properties via mechatronics approach.
