Design of an Intelligent Inspection Robot for Underwater Pipelines

Abstract This paper will introduce the design of an intelligent inspection robot for underwater pipelines. The whole device is divided into detection module, control module, drive module and housing. Among them, the detection module is the camera and the head, the control module is mainly the Raspberry Pi motherboard, the drive module includes the battery, motor, motor driver. The device through the camera module feedback to the Raspberry Pi to make decisions, and this decision through the IO port output, and then through the motor drive module to drive the motor, the motor to make speed and direction of adjustment. This device is proposed to use stepper motor for robot movement method.
