Abstract
The objective of this project is to construct a self-governing robot that can examine pipes. The system uses a central rod with a translation component that is attached to three linkages and a wheel carrier, powered by DC motors. This design allows it to be used for small-diameter pipes. An electronic circuit with three relay switches controls the DC motor, sensor, and translation element. The robot can detect pipeline corrosion and defects. Typically, pipeline inspection robots are costly devices imported from overseas that lack proper support when they malfunction. Many factories have aged pipes and sewers, and several pipeline inspection robots have been developed in the past. Wired robots are used, but they require larger power and signal wires. As a result, a new inspection robot with a wireless communication system is suitable for long, complex pipelines with straight, vertical, and curved sections. In an indoor test tube, the robot was shown to be controllable and capable of gathering data through a wireless communication system. Pipe inspection and cleaning robots are innovative technologies that have been developed to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of inspecting and cleaning pipes. These robots are designed to navigate through pipes of varying diameters and lengths, inspecting and identifying potential problems such as cracks, leaks, or blockages. The robots utilize various sensing technologies, including cameras and sensors, to gather data about the condition of the pipes. The use of pipe inspection and cleaning robots has numerous benefits, including reduced downtime, lower costs, and improved safety for workers.
