A robot applicable to synchronous patrol of a long branch pipeline and a main pipeline includes a walking apparatus and detection apparatuses located on a top of the walking apparatus, where the detection apparatuses accompany the walking apparatus to patrol the main pipeline. The robot further includes a sub-walking apparatus located at a front end of the walking apparatus, where front wheel obstacle-crossing apparatuses of the walking apparatus are also capable of limiting the sub-walking apparatus while crossing an obstacle in the main pipeline, and when the branch pipeline is encountered, the front wheel obstacle-crossing apparatuses are lifted to a certain height, a bin outlet of the sub-walking apparatus is released, and the sub-walking apparatus is separated from the walking apparatus and independently patrols the branch pipeline.
