Abstract :
Aimed at tackling the disadvantages of conventional manhole a new manhole cleaning robot system is designed for performing cleaning work instead of manual cleaning that is characteristic of low safety, low efficiency, long time and environmental pollution problems. cleaning operations The robot system consists of robot, suction pump, hydraulic pump station, remote control center, windlass and so on, biodegradable bags. The modular structures have been adopted in the robot, which makes it possible to assemble all subsystems in a single unit. This robotic system can reduce the complex mechanism for cleaning the manholes and even provide environmental friendly way of disposing the sludge or waste.
