The technical objective of the present disclosure is to provide an apparatus for driving a three-dimensional microgravity cable that can reproduce microgravity environments such as those experienced on the moon or Mars. To this end, the apparatus for driving a three-dimensional microgravity cable of the present disclosure comprises: a frame unit for forming a virtual space; a wire unit comprising three or more wires, provided at the frame unit; a winch unit for winding or unwinding each of the three or more wires; tension measuring units, respectively provided at the three or more wires, for measuring the tensions of the respective wires; a position sensing unit, provided at the frame unit, for sensing the position of a participant; and a support unit, positioned in the virtual space, for supporting the participant by the three or more wires.

Apparatus for driving three-dimensional microgravity cable

Technical objective is to provide an in-pipe inspection robot for inspecting interior of a pipe, which can exert repulsive force to the pipe when the linear actuator is driven. To this purpose, the in-pipe inspection robot, which is moved inside the pipe to inspect the interior of the pipe, includes a linear actuator which is extendably and contractably driven, and a braking unit configured to fix a rear end of the linear actuator to an inner wall of the pipe and release a front end of the linear actuator from a fixed state, when the linear actuator is being extended, and release the rear end of the linear actuator from the fixed state and fix the front end of the linear actuator to the inner wall of the pipe, when the linear actuator is being contracted.
