Tubulo - a train-like miniature inspection climbing robot for ferromagnetic tubes

Francesco Mondada, Hannes Bleuler, Roland Moser, Gilles Caprari, Frédéric Rochat, Patrick Schoeneich, Olivier Truong-Dat Nguyen

A train-like miniature climbing inspection robot for ferromagnetic tubes is presented in this paper. Using magnetic wheels, it climbs in tubes of 25 mm of diameter and bigger in any orientation, and pass bends with curvatures above 150 mm in some cases. It ...

Cy-mag3D: a simple and miniature climbing robot with advance mobility in ferromagnetic environment

Francesco Mondada, Hannes Bleuler, Frédéric Rochat, Patrick Schoeneich, Barthélémy Lüthi

Cy-mag3D is a miniature climbing robot with advanced mobility and magnetic adhesion. It is very compact: a cylindrical shape with 28 mm of diameter and 62 mm of width. Its design is very simple: two wheels, hence two degrees of freedom, and an advanced mag ...

TRIPILLAR: Miniature magnetic caterpillar climbing robot with plane transition ability

Francesco Mondada, Frédéric Rochat, Patrick Schoeneich, Olivier Truong-Dat Nguyen

In this paper, we describe a miniature climbing robot, 96 x 46 x 64 [mm3], able to climb ferromagnetic surfaces and to make inner plane to plane transition using only two degrees of freedom. Our robot, named TRIPILLAR, combines magnetic caterpillars and ma ...
