The 11th SICE Control Division Conference Development of Wireless Communication and Inside Pipe Image Processing By Using Drain Pipe Robots with Platoon Moving

摘要

In this paper, we present drain pipe robots based on wireless communication and image processing for pipe inspection in which one robot follows the another robot by travelling in a queue. It ensures proper communication between robot and operator even when pipes are too long. The image processing based on binary method to transform the camera image into expended figure and detect the damage of drain pipe wall. The latest inspection and platoon like motion results in real environment of drain pipe will be tested in future work.
