The importance of designing robotic platforms for pipes of small diameters inspection is connected with necessity of efficiency improvement in technical diagnostics of pipelines of different use, especially in mechanical engineering. This paper is devoted to in-pipe micro robot design. Different techniques of the robot’s motion inside a pipeline have been discussed. The proposed design of the in-pipe robot may be used in experimental investigation of different inspection techniques. The method of determining the speed of micro robot allows finding the speed of micro robot when it moves in different environments with different viscosity under the absence and presence of excessive pressure in the piping system.
