A Real-time Robotic Platform for Pipeline Inspection
Pipelines are used around the world to transport raw materials, waste products, and, critically, potable water. Protecting the pipes from the elements often leaves them difficult to inspect for leaks and corrosion, which can cause costly, even deadly, damage. Currently, typical inspection methods are costly, interrupt service, and have highly limited inspection range. This thesis details the continuing development of a robotic platform capable of actively maneuvering inside an in-service, potable-water pipe, for the purpose of providing continuous, autonomous, long-range inspection of a pipe network. Complete inspection of municipal water pipelines requires a compact robot capable of maneuvering junctions around 100mm in diameter, with flows that can exceed 1m/s. This work focuses on several additions to prior work at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which developed a hull and planar propulsion system. The addition of ailerons allows full 3-dimensional control of the robot. A custom-built, wireless embedded controller runs a customized real-time OS to provide closed-loop control, as well as data-logging and remote access. A generic task architecture is designed to simplify the addition of real-time software modules.
Revolutionizing AI and Robotics in the Oil and Gas Industry
The oil and gas industry remains the main source of energy and is one of the valuable areas of the energy market. In this sector, the replacement of human labor by technology is particularly important for the implementation of all stages. With the application of smart technology, it was possible to replace not only the physical aspect of human labor but also a number of mental activities. The integration of smart technology, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics, has made it possible to automate processes such as design, risk assessment, forecasting, ensuring safety and optimizing production. Revolutionizing AI and Robotics in the Oil and Gas Industry addresses all aspects and principles of the joint integration of AI and Robotics for process automation in the oil and gas industry. It discusses the modern environment created by the integration of digital technologies into this field, the extent to which progress has been made with the automation of processes through AI, and the consequences of the application of robotics and automation to the industry. Covering topics such as leak detection, petroleum engineering, and oil reservoir behavior, this book is an excellent resource for industry professionals, engineers, computer scientists, professionals, researchers, scholars, academicians and more.
Pipeline Inspection and Health Monitoring Technology
This book includes six chapters aiming to introduce global pipeline inspection and health monitoring technologies comprehensively. The pipeline is the blood vessel of the energy system and a vital lifeline project. After many years of service, the pipeline gradually enters the aging stage. Pipeline inspection and health monitoring can effectively reduce the failure and accident risks of the pipeline, and it is conducive to integrity management. Through case analysis, practitioners can have a deeper understanding of the application of related technologies.
