Robot based Smart Water Pipeline Monitoring System

Abstract

Abstract Water scarcity is a serious challenge posed on us and the cost of providing fresh potable will provoke over time. The adoption of robots for the water transportation is inevitable for the productive rehabilitation. Real-time water pipelines monitoring is one of the potential application where robotics play a major role. Monitoring the huge long water pipelines is the biggest challenge. Thus a robust and reliable artificial water pipe monitoring and cleaning robot is proposed to monitor the pipelines of various diameters that interconnect the distributed network for leaks and clogs and to remove the debris. The automated system can be made smart by providing online water leakage or block audit is feasible through a web Socket based application program interface in the cloud platform. An early warning dashboard will be enabled for the water supply management team. This prototype when implemented on a large scale will have potential applications in multipurpose industrial huge oil or gas pipelines along with water pipelines.
