Development of Micro AUVs for Pipe Inspection

Projects in the robotics category: [easyrotator align=”left”]erc_88_1377105406[/easyrotator]     Robot Design     A tetherless robot is developed for maneuvering inside 4-inch-diameter (10 cm) pipe networks. This ellipsoidal micro drone is capable of path following and making very tight turns. It will be used to carry leak sensors into water distribution networks and perform high speed, full coverage leak detection Development of Micro AUVs for Pipe Inspection
