The RoboSnake - A system for transporting pipes

The system's developer engineers:

• Aviel Moati
• Sraya Goldfisher
• Yaron Samuel

Developed as part of a final project (1402) in mechanical engineering and mechatronics studies at Ariel University.

The project addresses the need to transport long pipes in various winding routes, in the areas of firefighting, agriculture, military, medicine, etc .. Its main advantage is in the modularity capability - the fit to the length of the desired pipe.

The management and control of the system using a Teensy 3.2 controller

The system is an autonomous system that travels using 2 DC motors,

Navigates via an IMU sensor,

Detects obstacles using a LIDAR sensor,

Communicates via RF communication.
