Industrial pipe systems are inaccessible and narrow. The pipes can be vertical and have junctions. Just as challenging, leakage points in the water system must be located, the condition of oil and gas pipelines must be checked and ventilation systems need to be cleaned. In the main, today’s robots are not that clever. They cannot climb or navigate in vertical pipes – and very few have active joints.Cybernetics and optical measurement scientists at SINTEF are working on a solution.    (source: sciencedaily.com)
