Development of Pipeline Inspection Robot for Detection of Pipeline Defects.
SSRN Electronic JournalPipelines are crucial for the transportation of fluids in various sectors, including oil and gas, water supply, and sewage systems. Regular inspection is essential for maintaining pipeline integrity and preventing catastrophic failures. Traditional inspection methods often involve manual labor, which can be unsafe and time-consuming.

A robotic laser pipeline profiler
Proceedings of the 20th IEEE Instrumentation Technology Conference (Cat. No.03CH37412), 2004This paper describes a pipeline profiling robot which uses a laser to build a 3D model of the inside of a pipe. The robot travels down the pipe finding the profile in real time using a laser and a camera. The laser is used to draw a line around the edge of the pipe; this line is then extracted from acquired images using recursive Gaussian filtering ...

A robotic system for internal inspection of water pipelines
IEEE Robotics & Automation Magazine, 1999This research has been motivated by the need for a reliable, robust, and cost-effective tool for internal pipe inspection with application to preventive and predictive maintenance. A new design for a visual inspection system for the interior of water pipelines with minimal service interruption is presented. The method proposed is especially designed to

Vectorization of robot dynamics on a pipelined vector processor
Proceedings. 1991 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2002A computational scheme for a pipelined vector processor for robot inverse dynamics is presented. Vectorization of the inverse dynamics computation is achieved while the dynamics formulation still remains within the general linear recursive framework, which is based on Newton-Euler equations and originally designed for scalar processing.
