Robotics assisted smart-touch pipeline inspection
International Journal of Intelligent Robotics and Applications, 2021A timely inspection of pipelines is of great importance to prevent oil and gas from leaking. This paper develops a novel robotic system that can automatically grab a flange of pipelines and perform bolt looseness inspection autonomously. The robotic system consists of a 4-DOF robotic arm with a stereo camera system on a mobile platform and a pair of ...

A review on pipeline inspection robot
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2020Pipelines deteriorate gradually over a period of time due to various factors. The limitation in these pipeline systems is that they are affected by various factors such as environmental conditions, corrosion, cracks etc. Maintenance and repair of these systems are labor-intensive and expensive.

A robot for offshore pipeline inspection
2010 9th IEEE/IAS International Conference on Industry Applications - INDUSCON 2010, 2010The robot presented in this paper was designed to find damages to the external sheath of offshore pipelines. The pipeline section subject to inspection is known as “riser” and connects the pipe running on the seabed to the production facility at the platform or “floating production, storage and offloading” ship (FPSO).
