Simulation of Pipe Climbing Modular Snake Robot
Project Area of Specialization RoboticsProject SummarySnake robots are a new type of robots, known also as serpentine robots.These robots possess multiple actuated joints thus multiple degrees of freedom.The snake robot design is consisted of two degree-of-freedom stages pitch, and yaw.
The goal of this project is the simuation of a biologically inspired robot with several applications for military uses and many other purposes. The modular aspect enables many aspects of the robot to be customized for the operation, including the number of segments, the sensor package at the front of the robot, and the control package at the rear. In simulation the Custom mechanical structure and electronics enable the snake to be robust enough for operation in many types of environments while being quick to repair. After construction, many types of motion would be developed to help the robot move, including motions similar to caterpillars and snakes.
The robot can be deployed as a mobile robot to go investigate a situation, possibly before a medic team moves in to help with casualties. It can travel through pipes or small spaces and check for hazardous items or chemical scents. The robot can be deployed in a stationary location to provide a lookout where leaving a soldier would be too dangerous.
Snake robots are also used in Pipe Inspection in Industrial Environment, Underwater Locomotion, Minimal Invasive Surgery.
Project ObjectivesFollowing are the objectives of this Project :
- To study Modular Snake Robot Kinematics and control approaches.
- Use of Modular Snake Robot for Pipe inspection tasks.
- It can be used for Military purposes.
- Snakebots can move through and around pipes, giving them potential applications in surveillance and inspection of nuclear power plants and other industrial plants

Benefits of the Project- We can use our robot in the industry such as for the inspection of many things, to identify any type of drawback in pipes.
-
We can also use these robots for inspection Earthquake and Building Collapses. We can send these robots where a normal machine can not reach.
-
For Checking of Blockage
-
We also use these robots for military purposes.
