INTRODUCTION
Robotics is a branch of engineering that involves the conception, design, manufacture,
and operation of robots. This field overlaps with electronics, computer science, artificial
intelligence, mechatronics, nanotechnology and bioengineering.
Science-fiction author Isaac Asimov is often given credit for being the first person to use the
term robotics in a short story composed in the 1940s. In the story, Asimov suggested three
principles to guide the behavior of robots and smart machines. Asimov's Three Laws of
Robotics, as they are called, have survived to the present:
1. Robots must never harm human beings.
2. Robots must follow instructions from humans without violating rule 1.
3. Robots must protect themselves without violating the other.
Mobile robotics is the branch of robotics concerned with movable robot systems that
are able to locomote within an environment or terrain. Mobile robotics and robots are mainly
used in research on navigation and exploration, with applications for autonomous guided
vehicles. Recent research in behavior-based systems has used legged robots as mechanical
analogues of insects and simple animals.

JETTY ROBOT
Jetty is a uniquely designed belt driven robot. It cleans and inspects air-conditioning
ducts, kitchen and industrial air vents, air-conditioning vents or any spaces where cleaning is
strenuous or impossible without dismantling. The latest generations design benefits from the
experience gained and continuous development and offers improved utility, greater
resistance, higher efficiency and easier handling.The diagram shows the picture of Jetty
robot.

Jetty has been designed as a modular, component system. The entire system can be
unpacked assembled and set up quickly and easily. The operator controls the robot from a
safe location using a control panel. They can easily position the robot as needed by
manipulating the control panel and monitor the progress and results as the duct ahead of the
robot is illuminated and scanned by a camera. The additional functionality enables video
recordings to be saved so the situation before and after cleaning can be assessed and
customers can see the difference for themselves.
Jetty robot has six continuous track. The size of robot can expand depends on size of
ducting. The minimum size of robot expand is 360 mm while the maximum robot can expand
is 1300 mm. The speed of robot adjustable and maximum speed is 70 mm/s. The locomotion
of robot is adaptation to environment concept. Jetty robot was build based on the inside the
ducting.

The movement of Jetty robot in ducting

AIR-DUCT SYSTEM

Ducts are conduits or passages used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning
(HVAC) to deliver and remove air. The needed airflows include, for example, supply air,
return air, and exhaust air.Ducts commonly also deliver ventilation air as part of the supply
air. As such, air ducts are one method of ensuring acceptable indoor air quality as well as
thermal comfort.
A duct system is also called ductwork. Planning (laying out), sizing, optimizing, detailing,
and finding the pressure losses through a duct system is called duct design.

Circular and Rectangular Ducting type

The example of Air-Duct System

Ducting cleaning refer to cleaning of various heating and cooling system of forced air
system. Duct need to be cleaning because to provide healthy air. That because indoor air can
5

cause disease if not clean it. The disease can be serious if not prevent from start. The example
of disease from unhealthy air are lungs cancer, asthma, bronchitis, and else. Human worker
has the limitation to clean the duct mostly ducting in bigger company. In will be dangerous to
worker himself. To prevent this happen, there are lot of product and service for ducting
cleaning. One of them is Jetty robot that function to clean the ducting.

The image show the image inside duct before and after cleaning

FUNCTION OF JETTY ROBOT

Jetty is able to pass and clean ducts of circular, rectangular or square shapes, and due
to its design, it is capable to move through horizontal ducting, vertical or sloping ducting. The
Robot can also get past S-shaped ducting and various turns.

The minimum duct diameter where it can operate is 0.4 meters (15.7 inches) and its
maximum duct diameter in standard configuration is 0.71 meters (28 inches). Equipped with
added extensions, the robot can operate in ducts with a diameter larger than 1.3 meters (51.2
inches) and the length can be adjustable to customer requirements.

The operator can control the robot from a secure place via a remote by using an operation
panel. The ducting in front of the robot is scanned by a camera and is displayed on the screen
of the operation panel. The robot can be guided into the desired position with a joystick. This
enables the personnel to directly observe the cleaning process and see its immediate results.

Dry ice cleaning principle

Jettys construction allows the use of dry ice blast cleaning technology, as well as
other cleaning methods. Using dry ice blasting enables removal of grease and dirt from ducts
in an ecological manner since there is no need for solvent based technologies. The robust
design of the robot allows the use of very efficient jets. The rotation velocity of the jet and the
7

velocity of the robots speed (up to 0.1m/s) can be adjusted depending on the degree of
contamination.
Dry ice blasting cleans surfaces gently and without causing damage. Another
advantage of dry ice blasting is that the dry ice treatment (solid carbon dioxide) produces no
waste, as the dry ice almost immediately transforms into gas and leaves the duct through the
vent. It is ecological, because dry ice is a product of cooled existing carbon dioxide. Carbon
dioxide can be used to clean very adhesive and resistant sediments without using solvent
based technologies based on organic dissolvent, acids or alkalis.

The component and system for Jetty robot system

WORKING OF JETTY ROBOT

firstly, the jetty robotic will alter the size based totally on length of the duct. After that, Jetty
robotic will in the duct at the same time as manipulate panel will tracking what occur within
the duct. all the movement of Jetty robotic will control manually with the aid of manipulate
panel by using using Jetty joystick. when the digicam detect the present of the duct, the
employee will activate the blasting which have dry ice to get rid of the dirt. The nozzle will
rotate surrounding the ducting to get rid of dust within the duct. all the movement within the
duct will recorded for reference to costumer.

USING OF JETTY ROBOT IN INDUSTRIAL SYSTEM

Jetty robotic can the usage of in all indoor building primarily within the bigger
employer. Majority organisation have the air-conditioning gadget or called HVAC device.
The HVAC gadget appropriate to use it due to the fact to supply healthy air for environment.
The hindrance gadget location is primarily based on length of ducting. the level of human
worker for putting the jetty robot very low. It best one or human for this machine. One
employee will placing the additives and one will control the marina robotic machine by using
the use of control panel.

CONCLUSION
The getting to know of Jetty robot have numerous data ordinarily in HVAC machine
or known as air-conditioning device. based at the magazine and broacher of Jetty robotic, the
principle function is to cleaning internal ducting and piping system. Human worker have
dilemma to clean the complete device of ducting. It additionally dangerous for human worker
from aspect protection. That why the mechanism changed into build and assist the human
employee. Jetty robotic one in all mechanism that was constructed to assist the cleaning. The
mechanism of cleansing the usage of is dry ice that pleasant surroundings. The vital
component is digicam for the monitoring inside the ducting. without digital camera, the
worker cannot positive that duct smooth or now not. finally, the cleansing inside duct very
critical to produce healthy surroundings on the whole for humans operating inside the
constructing the breath with indoor environment.
