Abstract A pipe is a most commonly used product in the daily operations of industrial plants. Boiler pipes and inner ribs reduce pollution, allowing industrial plants to be both environmentally friendly and economically efficient. However, if these pipes are damaged, it will cause a huge problem for humans and ecological imbalances. Therefore, an inside inspection of a pipe is most necessary, regular duty being conducted by a surveyor of the plant. Pipe inspection includes checking for cracks, defects, leaks, corrosion and blockages in a region. However, an individual cannot do this inspection due to life-risk impact, and there is a necessity for human intelligence. This proposed robot design helps inspect a portion of the building in less time than the entire vision. In addition, the view can be recorded and easily the damaged or blocked portions of the pipe.

AbstractPipe inspection robots have been developed to reduce the cost and time required for gas pipe inspection. However, these robots have been developed using a scrap and build method and are not used in practice. In this paper, we propose a method of virtual pipe inspection simulation to clarify the parameters that are important in increasing the robot's ease of use. This paper presents the results obtained by a feasibility study with regard to pipe simulation. We developed a virtual pipe by simulating eight actual turns of an external gas pipe, and a robot equipped with camera at the tip. In the experiments, three individuals working in the field of gas inspection carried out the operation. We obtained questionnaire, time, and brain activity data. The results revealed various important points that must be considered in practical simulation and robot design. In conclusion, the virtual pipe simulation can be useful in developing the design of a pipe inspection robot.

Pipe Line

In recent days, most of the industries are facing many problems to find out damages inside the pipe line. The pipe inspection Robot was made to avoid this problem and to find out the exact place of damage and to reduce the time of evaluating, repairing and managing of interior surface pipes. One of the most important requirements in inspection, repairing and maintenance of interior pipelines is the ability to monitor and evaluate interior surface of pipes. This research work deals with the modelling of robot for inspection, cleaning, maintenance to evaluate the interior surface piping systems. The design of pipe inspection robot has been done in NX Cad (UNIGRAPHICS).the robot is designed in such way that it can be used for different pipe diameters. The design and development of pipe inspection robot involves a mechanism which in turn is connected to two opposite sides of frame of links, joints and wheels. So by using this pipe inspection robot one can find out the exact location of damage inside the pipe, so that it will be very easy to resolve the problem.

Pets in the home need particular attention and care. They must be provided with food, beverages, and medicine as soon as possible. Due of most owners' hectic lifestyles, this job may not be as easy as anticipated. Inadequate attention to the requirements of pets may have serious consequences such as hunger and illness, among other things. In light of the above, this paper presents an Internet of Things-based automated feeder system that use the Raspberry Pi for remote control, scheduling, and intelligence. Its design and subsequent execution are anticipated to at least take care of the nutritional aspects of pets by delivering food, beverages, and medicine to pets on a schedule or as needed in the absence of the owner. As a result, the goal of this study is to automate the monitoring and feeding procedure, which is now done manually by pet owners. The four-wheeled system allows it to effortlessly climb stairs. Because of its body weight, the mechanism generates traction. The robot has applications such as remote feeding of every kind of animal from afar, remote exploration of the house to deceive thieves into believing someone is at home. It also lets you customise daily meals, keep your pet secure while you are away from home, store up to 7 pound, keep food fresh, and monitor your pet's nutrition. The robot may also prevent a person from eating a particular meal while allowing other animals to access the food. All these features attract owners of more than one animal to the robot.
