Abstract
This Project presents the development of a mobile robot designed to inspect pipelines in the oil and gas industry, particularly during system shutdowns. The robot is capable of navigating autonomously inside an unknown environment using an ultrasonic sensor for obstacle avoidance and can also be manually controlled via Bluetooth. Equipped with a front-facing camera, the system streams live video and use the YOLO object detection algorithm to identify defects such as cracks, corrosion, and holes. Built using an Arduinobased platform and affordable components, the robot offers a low-cost, practical solution for enhancing the safety and efficiency of pipeline maintenance operations.
