A mobile robot and an inexpensive probe system have been developed for cave exploration. The remote control robot, which is equipped with a camera and a laser distance finder, has been sent to inaccessible areas for sample images of rugged cave interior. With these sampled images, a new probe system has been developed to overcome the difficulties in cave exploration. A pneumatically controlled video probe device can be pushed along the walls of the cave by extension rods. One of the unique features of the probe system is the ability to make numerous bends and then straighten out with the pre-stressed extension system. The probe is equipped with a camera, a halogen spotlight, a small fan, temperature sensors, laser distance finder, and a mercury switch. The probe can flex 45 degrees upward and rotate 360 degrees in any direction. This movement allows the full view of the interior of the


previously unexplored cave areas.


This probe system has been used to inspect numerous pipe/duct systems, which are environmentally and/or structurally unsafe to be inspected by human. Furthermore, it can be used to find survivors in the collapsed building due to earthquakes and terror attacks before sending the rescuers.
