Development of a Laboratory-Scale Pipeline Crack Inspection Robot

Abstract

Development of society inevitably leads to increase in unforeseen problems. An example of this is the presence of piping system and its disadvantages. There are numerous usages of the piping system for instance the sewage at housing area of restaurant as well as offshore deep sea mining of oil. Some of the problems with these systems include blockage, cracking, etc. However, these can be solved with advancement of technology or more specifically, robot. By definition, a robot is a machine with the ability to carry out complex series of actions automatically. This is especially true for a programmable machine. By creating a laboratory-scale pipeline crack inspection robot, these problems can be tackled.
