Abstract：In this paper, application background of micro-in-pipe and its difference from conventional in-pipe robot are introduced firstly,-on the basis of analysis and discussion on working theory about several kinds of small conventional in-pipe robot and micro-in-pipe robot with different micro actuators, the main problems on micro-in-pipe robot research are mentioned, in the meanwhile, the key technology and further research development trend are discussed.
