Abstract: Disclosed are an embracing crawling robot for detecting an underwater pier of a highway bridge and a detection method therefor. The robot includes a main body, underwater lighting systems, tool compartments, depth metering modules, servo driving wheels, inclination measurement modules, underwater manipulator arms, vision array modules, synchronized stretching and fixing systems, and driven wheels. The robot is capable of crawling around an underwater pier of a highway bridge and operating stably in an underwater environment. After cleaning surface attachments on the underwater pier, the robot performs visual detection of a disease; and after determining type and location information of the disease, the robot will transmit disease information back. The robot is capable of crawling around the underwater pier of the highway bridge stably at any depths, perceiving depth and visual information under high-speed and turbid water conditions, thereby realizing detection of the disease on the underwater pier.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a pipeline patrol inspection robot having variable tracks and a control method therefor. The pipeline patrol inspection robot of the present invention includes a robot body, track assemblies symmetrically disposed on a left side and a right side of the robot body, and a movement driving mechanism. The robot body is connected to the track assemblies on the left side and the right side by track fixtures, and track angle adjusting mechanisms are respectively connected between the robot body and the track assemblies on the left side and the right side. By means of the present invention, a track camber angle can be adjusted. In addition, each track angle adjusting mechanism is independent, and has desirable flexibility to adapt to different pipeline environments.
