Designing Smart Sewerbot for the Identification of Sewer Defects and Blockages

Abstract

Internet of thing (IoT) is a new concept where the term ‘thing’ is associated with the configurable sensors and devices no matter domestic or industrial, whereas bridging up a relationship in between these things and internet protocol is known as Internet of thing. Moreover, the same concept has been introduced in the field of robotics as ‘Internet of Robotic Things (IoRT)’, which is mainly concerned with active sensorization of sensors dully interfaced with any type of robots i.e. autonomous unmanned ground vehicle (UGV). This paper describes the prototyping of an autonomous sewerbot that will not only identify the sewer defects in sewerage pipelines but will also identify the type of blockages using the technique of digital image processing. Furthermore, the deployed configurable sensors will also share the attributes of particular sewerage line on IoT such that temperature, humidity, availability of hazardous gases, exact depth at which it is available and global positioning using GPS module. The paper also provides the brief construction of this mechatronic and amphibian system via which it can extricate the blockages from sewerage lines along with wireless camera surveillance.
