	Provision of well-being in rooms is associated with their good ventilation. Good ventilation is influenced by cleanliness of ventilation ducts. The article presents a drive-by-wire version of a mobile inspection robot for ventilation ducts. A handler, which is movable in three axes and ended with a grab, a supporting vertical wheel (to reduce wheel skid) as well as a colour camera, a distance sensor and two light sources (LED and halogen lamp) on a rotary platform have been placed on a circular chassis. Apart from performing the inspection function, the operator of the "Inspector 1" robot may remove bigger pieces of dirt and garbage from a ventilation shaft using the handler and the grab. The device is powered from a 12 V / 5 Ah battery. A robot controlled using a control panel allows accurate illumination of the internal walls of the duct and wireless transmission of a colour image to the operator's monitor. The rotary platform on which the camera with lighting is placed is also capable of tilting up and down. The robot's drive has been resolved in a way that makes it as manoeuvrable as possible. Two front drive wheels operate independently and two rear wheels are easy-running. The robot will also allow recording the following environmental parameters in the ventilation shaft: humidity, temperature, draught force and direction and the presence of gases. The entire robot's electronic system is based on battery-powered supply (12V/5Ah) which is sufficient for approx. two hours of continuous operation. The voltage of the battery is constantly monitored and should it drop.
