A Robotic Platform to Identify Gas Pipe Leakage Using IOT

摘要

Abstract Gas pipes play a very vital role in cities as well as industries thus directly related to the growing economy of our country. Gas leakages in our present day world lead to many fire accidents and pose a greater threat. To place sensors at each section of the pipe is difficult as well as time taking and costly. So, we are proposing an innovative robot that clings to the outer surface of a gas pipe and moves along the pipe to detect gas leakages. The robot keeps on moving along the pipe surface and will monitor any gas leakage, when it detects it will send the transmit location using an interface GPS sensor to the IOT login system, we use a software called UBIDOTS to display the gas leakage position and it also sends alert messages over IOT. At last, we design a robot which is automated and has an insect like structure that moves along the gas pipe and it detects the gas leakages at a very low cost.
