Title
Mobile robots on cylindrical surfaces
Abstract
This paper proposes some basic structures of mobile robots which can run on cylindrical surfaces. This type of robot is utilized to inspect such cylindrical components as oil pipe lines, electricl power lines and so on. The key functions, which such robots should have, are to run on cylindrical surfaces smoothly and to avoid many obstacles autonomously. This paper shows some possible structures for these two functions.
