| Popis: | 101 Nowadays, inspection robots are equipped with a camera and are used only for observation and environmental inspection in consideration of their envisaged applications and available designs. Moreover, existing inspection robots usually have complex mechanical structures, which could make them bulky and expensive in the context of movement in bends or vertical pipes. Consequently, this study focuses on developing a simple and compact tracked robot with a waterproof mechanical design and a dual-arm configuration for underwater inspection of sewers. This waterproof mechanical design with different modules can prevent damage to the robot from the adverse effects of detected environments; the dual-arm configuration enables the robot to carry and move an object in the detected environment. The LabVIEW software was applied to develop the user interface of the tracked robot to control it and to receive video signals from the camera installed on the robot. |
