Abstract

Pipelines are widely used in our daily life and industrial production, in order to solve the ensuring problem of pipeline failure, many kinds of pipeline inspection robots have appeared, and nowadays, pipeline robots have been widely used in various pipeline inspection and repair. This paper mainly discusses the importance of pipeline inspection robots in various pipeline fields, describes the technical characteristics of pipeline robots at home and abroad in recent years, and puts forward suggestions for the future development of pipeline robots in view of the existing problems, which is of reference significance for the future development.
