Development of IoT Based Inspection Robotic System and controlled using Web/Android Applications

摘要

The cleaning of the drain has always been a major problem in every society. The cleanings of gutters and drains are banned by the Government of India because the deployment of human labor inside the drain is risky due to a lot of waste/chemicals in the garbage. Due to a lot of waste and other objects, the drains are choked, and eventually blocking off the drain occurs. This leads to overflow in many cases. Considering these aspects, a novel design of an IoT (Internet-of-thing) automated inspection robotic system is proposed here. This system consists of 6 wheels robotic system along with one wireless camera, a suction leaf collection system, and one slurry suction pump. In this six-wheel robotic system, the front two-wheel of the robotic system is used to give the turning movement and the back four wheels will give the forward and backward movement, which are run by DC motors. The robot and wireless camera are controlled using IoT Technique where mobile apps are developed. Subsequently, these data can also be visualized in mobile through Web/Android phone applications. A prototype of the inspection robotic system along with a slurry suction pump is also developed and demonstrated in the sewerage system. Hence, this robotic system's capabilities show that IoT technology is useful for controlling the robotic systems through mobile phones remotely and this kind of robotic system can be used for inspection to find the blockage.
