Pipeline Inspection crawling robot (PICR) is inline inspection(ILI) tool for the fuel transportation pipeline. Inspection of pipelines is an exceedingly costly process and has been given most extreme significance.
Different advances and developments have risen keeping in mind the end goal to take care of the issue of productive and financially savvy assessment of pipelines.
With the coming of mechanical autonomy, it cleared the way for another line of robots, the pipe assessment robots.
There are different challenges that are related with the improvement of these robots as they are subjected to cruel conditions like high weights, high speed amid bowing, and so forth.
Keeping in mind with these challenges, PICR has been developed. PICR contained three different types of sensing techniques like Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) sensor,Opto-electronic sensor and Touch Probe sensor.
