Abstract: Pipe inspection robot (PIR) is a device that is inserted into pipes to check for obstruction or damage. These robots are traditionally manufactured offshore, are extremely expensive, and are often not adequately supported in the event of malfunction. This project is conceived to redesign the electronics control systems one of these PIR, utilizing the existing mechanical platform. It operates reliably in confined, dark and wet environments and provides a human-wear with a digital video feed of the internal status of the pipes.These robots should as much as possibly incorporate off-the-shaft components, cheap, and potentially onsite repair.The robot allowsfor detection of cracks, buckle, corrosions,pitting and many others
