Abstract
The design of the transport module of a wheeled in-line diagnostic robotic complex with an adaptive suspension was presented. The equations of kinetostatics of the passive part of the adaptive suspension are described. Based on the initial data, the design parameters of the passive part of the adaptive suspension were determined, and computer modeling was performed in a straight pipe. The scope of further research has been determined.

Key words
In-pipe inspection system, mobile robotic platform, diagnostics of pipelines, spring suspension, wheeled robot.
