PIPE INSPECTION AND CLEANING ROBOT

The pipe inspection and cleaning robot is one of the most important system developed for a proper maintenance of underground pipes. Due to Large Development and increase in usage of fuel, oil, gas and the pipes used for such process need to be maintained properly. There are many ways to do that so but Biggest problem arises with such maintenance machine are heavy cost and durability to work in and out of the pipes. We have come up with a solution of efficient Underground faulty pipe inspection and even cleaning the pipes by only one single robot. Our goal is to achieve this by using a robot that will be equipped with all necessary sensors and equipments to detect fault and even clean the pipes. The objectives of this project are as follows: Design and assemble robot that will be carrying sensors and equipments. Write codes for moving robot and working of sensors. Adjust the range for ultrasonic sensors to detect the crack. Test the code and troubleshoot to increase the robot efficiency and accuracy. Study the shortcomings and improve them. Test the robot performance with many faults and even increase the cleaning efficiency. Determine other parameters which would affect robot reliability.
