Mechanically-Inflatable Bio-Inspired Locomotion for Robotic Pipeline Inspection
Mostafa A. Atalla, Fabian Trauzettel, Sebastiaan P. van Gelder +3
Pipelines, vital for fluid transport, pose an important yet challenging inspection task, particularly in small, flexible biological systems, that robots have yet to master. In this…
