In response to the increasingly serious deterioration of pipeline infrastructure, various in-pipe inspection devices have been developed in recen
Our previous research on the M-shaped articulated structure demonstrated that extending the joints against the inner pipe wall maintains continuous
Numerous efforts to reduce friction in the sliding parts of reduction gears have been reported to enable robots to perform mechanical contact work. T
Elastic bodies such as springs vibrate when they are bounced. In this state, elastic energy and kinetic energy are converted, and if there is no loss
The maintenance of pipeline used for gas, water, sewage, and air conditioning is one of the major challenges facing mankind in urban society. In part
