PipeEye

PipeEye is a prototype design for an un-tethered sewer inspection robot. The system will be capable of providing video and acoustic imaging of underground sewer or water pipelines. Pipe-Eye is unique in that it would be deployed into the pipeline without the need for a tether. This would significantly extend the range of the system over existing technologies and would reduce inspection costs. The Pipe-Eye system is derived from an oil/gas pipeline inspection module co-developed by Automatika and Shell Oil.
