The Redesign and Implementation of a Reliable Robotic Pipe Inspection System
thesis
posted on 2021-11-10, 09:56 authored by Winch, StephenRobotic units used in pipe inspection are expensive to purchase and repair. Many companies do not offer long term support for the repair and maintenance of their robotic units. Consequently Associated Environmental Services Limited (AES), a Wellington based pipe inspection company approached Victoria University to facilitate the repair of a non-functional system. As a result this Masters project aims to design and implement a reliable pipe inspection system for use by AES. This thesis outlines and discusses the circuit boards and software designed for such a robotic unit. A reliable graphical user interface and internal circuitry for the robot was designed and is also presented.
