Underground pipeline robot

Projects Networking, Protocols, and Devices

Hello guys and good day.

I am working for an underground pipeline inspection robot and I am extremely new in arduino with some basic robotic knowledge and super interesting in developing robots.

I am looking for crucial information:

  1. what type of controller can be used to control an underground(inside a pipe) robot
  2. what is the range

then i cans start playing with arduino.

Thanks in advance.

  1. what type of controller can be used to control an underground(inside a pipe) robot

I would think that it was quite obvious, since you DID post in the Arduino forum, what our answer would be.

A Raspberry PI, of course.

  1. what is the range

The thing that you cook your meals on.

The range of what? Range only makes sense when you are talking wireless. And, wireless and inside of a pipe just don't go together. Unless you are referring to concrete or plastic pipe.

Thanks PaulS

Indeed, what Im trying to do is a wireless pipeline robot that supposed to be used for inspection purpose. i was considering ZigBee (IEEE 802.15.4 standard).

Is there any possible way to do the task?

a) In metal pipe?
b) in plastic pipe buried in concrete?

In addition by the way.

Im looking for a sensor that can be used to measure wall thickness as well. any of your help is highly appreciated.

thanks.
