Abstract
This paper deals with in-pipe micromachine, which moves in pipes with inner diameter under 25 mm. The micromachine locomotion principle is based directional friction force between bristle tip and pipe wall. At first we have theoretically analysed the locomotion principle. The next part consist of analysis of bristle tip connection with inner pipe wall. Finally, the analysis is supported with experiments.
