Robot for Pipe Inspect

Project Type: Self-Initiated

Project Description

This project aimed to develop a robot that can move on the surface of the pipe and find cracks before getting more extensive or more costly to maintain it. The robot has an ultrasonic sensor (HC-SR04) and a gas sensor (MQ2) to detect cracks and leaks respectively. Moreover, the robot has four mecanum wheels and two omni wheels to move in every direction. Furthermore, the robot is powered by an electrical cable. Consequently, the robots that identify cracks are necessary for pipeline companies.
