The invention relates to a
mobile robot, wherein the
robot 1 is designed to move independently on a tubular surface 31, for example in an
industrial reactor, comprising at least one support 2 and at least one foot 9, 10, 11, 12, wherein the foot 9, 10, 11, 12 is adjustable relative to the support 2 in the intended direction of movement, and the foot 9, 10, 11, 12 has at its supporting end an
insertion element 17; 18; 19; 20 which can be inserted into a tube 32, 33 of the tubular surface 31, which
insertion element 17; 18; 19;20 between a lowered support position, in which it is inserted into a tube 32, 33, and a raised movement position, in which it is free from the tube mirror 31, so that the
robot 1 is supported in the support position on the tube mirror 31 in the intended direction of movement by means of the foot 9, 10, 11, 12 and, by means of the adjustability of the foot 9, 10, 11, 12 relative to the carrier 2, the
robot 1 can move on the plane of the tube mirror 31.
