Project Details
Description
This project aims to develop a robot for inspecting sewer pipes in Cañar Canton, addressing the limitations of manual inspections, such as safety risks and imprecise problem identification. The robot will operate in pipes ranging from 200mm to 600mm in diameter, ensuring worker safety, accurate problem identification, and optimized management of the sewer network. The project includes designing the robot, developing control software, conducting pilot tests, and training personnel.
Goals:
Create a pipe inspection robot to navigate effectively in spaces between 200 and 600 mm with a maximum inclination of 15 degrees using a camera, inclination sensors, and adequate lighting.
Develop control software to operate the robot remotely, compatible with real-time image capture.
Evaluate the robot's performance through pilot tests in the Cañar Canton sewer network and adjust its operation as necessary.
Train the staff of the Water and Sewerage Department in the operation and maintenance of the pipe inspection robot.
