spoke with Andy Blight, a Robotics Software Technician at the University of Leeds, U.K.
The pipe bots' primary responsibilities include mapping the locations of pipes and locating possible pipe failures. "So it's more like keyhole surgery- rather than opening everything up. That's one of the key benefits, of course. Accurate localization. Digging up less road is less inconvenient for everybody," said Blight. Still, how exactly do Pipe bots work?For navigation of the pipes, the robots will operate autonomously- thanks to a variety of onboard sensors.
There is a dedicated chip for communication and another chip for everything else. The Pipebot's top chip does all of the video processing, and the plan is that on the way back, this will shut down along with other features to save power.
