DOF of most common mechanism in in-pipe robots can be calculated by considering the robot as a parallel manipulator. A new design based on previously researched in-pipe robot PAROYS has been suggested, and its possibility to overcome branched section has been simulated.}, journal = {International Journal of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering}, volume = {7}, number = {5}, year = {2013}, pages = {907 - 911}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/9505}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/77}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 77, 2013}, }
