Abstract
Pipeline detection is a crucial step in ensuring industrial safety. With the rapid advancement of information and sensor technology, research and applications of wireless pipeline inspection robotics have shown an increasing trend, necessitating a comprehensive review of these studies. Broadly, the research on these devices can be divided into two categories: In-Line Inspection (ILI) robots and external-pipeline inspection robots. This survey primarily focuses on the research status of wireless ILI robots. By using some typical robots as examples, this survey introduces key parameters that reflect the performance of ILI robots in tabular formats. These parameters include vehicle-borne sensors, wireless communication methods, cruising time, and applicable pipeline diameters. Finally, this survey summarizes the aforementioned wireless ILI robots and provides the author’s suggestions for their improvement.
管道检测是确保工业安全的关键一步。随着信息和传感器技术的飞速发展,无线管道检测机器人的研究和应用也呈现出日益增多的趋势,因此有必要对这些研究进行全面回顾。这些设备的研究大致可分为两类:在线检测 (ILI) 机器人和外部管道检测机器人。本调查主要关注无线 ILI 机器人的研究现状。本调查以一些典型机器人为例,以表格形式介绍了反映 ILI 机器人性能的关键参数。这些参数包括车载传感器、无线通信方法、巡航时间和适用管道直径。最后,本调查报告对上述无线 ILI 机器人进行了总结,并提出了作者的改进建议。
