This paper presents automated navigation control of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) based on visual data gathered by onboard camera. With depletion of easy resources and health, safety and environmental (HSE) challenges in exploiting newly found resources in hostile conditions are forcing oil and gas companies to look for robotic solutions for their problems. Pipelines carrying inflammable and toxic...
This paper describes the robot capable of inspecting a pipe. The developed robot is composed of three bodies, six legs, a laser range finder, a ring-type laser, and a CCD camera. The six legs are composed of three worm gears that are arranged at an angle of 120 degrees to run inside pipes of different diameters. The robot is designed with two joints to change the direction in pipe junctions, and the...
Tape and reel packaging process is one of the important final manufacturing process of electric chip. During and after this packaging process, the defects of chips in the tape and reel package should be inspected. It is so time and cost consuming task by human inspectors. The main defects of chip in the tape and reel package are orientation chip, a wrong type chip and marking defects of chips. In...
Inspection of the structural health of the bridge column is very important task but near-water surface region is dangerous for structural health monitoring robots due to water tides and spray. The unmanned surface vehicle with vertical thrusting function was developed to attach bridge column regardless of the surface status or material for close inspection and minimizing turbulence or external flow...
