Inspection Robot for Tightly and Hard to Reach Spaces

When a disaster occurs, such as an earthquake, a robot crawling through the disaster areas arrives more and more, helping firefighters and rescue teams to work more securely. Such a robot crawling through the disaster areas for inspection is the snake robot. This paper presents the designing of a segmented snake robot to inspect narrow and hard-to-reach volumes. Snake robots can use their many internal degrees of freedom to thread through tightly packed volumes accessing locations that people and machinery otherwise cannot use. Finally, after designing, the command and control of this special robot are presented.
