The pipe inspection robot using the MFL non-destructive inspection equipment, has high inspection efficiency in the pipe with high magnetic permeability. However, this equipment generates attractive force between the pipe and the permanent magnet, requiring a high driving force for the robot, and sometimes causes the robot to be incapable of driving. In this study, the development of a spiral running type magnetic leakage detection pipe inspection robot system is described. Multi-body dynamics analysis was performed on the designed robot, to confirm the robot"s driving performance. After that, the performance of the robot was verified, by testing the manufactured robot in a standardized test bed.

Drone stations are increasingly being applied to enhance the mission capabilities of drones. The drone’s station landing occurs in a limited space. A relative position communication signal between the drone and the station is required. Strong, precise control over communication signal interference is required. In this paper, we describe a filter processing method for position signal processing. In consideration of the anchor position and installation angle of the UWB module of the drone station, nine performance test cases were proposed. As a result of the performance test, high position accuracy output was confirmed when considering the result of minimizing signal shading and beam pattern direction with excellent reception sensitivity. A performance test was conducted using the developed drone station, and the landing performance was confirmed with a precision of within 20 cm.
