“…As a result, peristaltic locomotion has been implemented in many worm-inspired crawling robots for field exploration and in-pipe inspection. However, these robots typically require many actuatorssuch as pneumatic chambers [4,5,6], shape memory alloy (SMA) springs [7], electric motors [8], or permanent magnets [9]-to activate their segments individually. Moreover, a complicated control architecture is also necessary to coordinate the individual segment deformation to achieve peristaltic locomotion (Figure 1(c)).…”

“…The worm's motion in nature is divided into several types; however, what has been most widely studied is the movement of earthworm, which is able to move flexibly in complex spatial environments on the surface or underground with a simple body structure [5]. It is also because of this feature that earthworms have become a source of inspiration for many research projects [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14].…”

“…For pipeline inspection robots, the ability to pass through elbow pipes is necessary. Therefore, earthworm-inspired pipe robots are usually designed with elastic structures that can help them move along curved pipes [9,10]. For example, the pipe inspection robot introduced in [9] is designed to pass through complex elbow pipe systems.…”

“…2019, 9, x FOR PEER REVIEW 2 of 14 Therefore, numerous studies have proposed active in-pipe robots which can travel autonomously in pipelines. At present, these robots are mainly divided into six types: Gravity walking wheel (track) type [9][10][11]; wall-press wheel (track) type [12][13][14][15][16]; screw type [17][18][19][20][21]; inchworm (caterpillar) type [22,23]; walking type [24,25]; and snake type [26][27][28]. Among the active in-pipe robots, the screw drive in-pipe robot (SDIR) has been increasingly researched due to its simple driving (single power source) and numerous advantages [29].…”
