Simulation of the Gas Transportation through Pipes Inspected by Intelligent Robots
Journal Title: RECENT - Year 2009, Vol 10, Issue 26
Abstract
In this paper, the authors have created the visual images of transport gas nets, by using the Delphi visual programming medium, as qualitative simulation tool. The authors show that using this tool, one can obtain a priori, in the design stadium, the information about the state of the transport pipe. In a real environment these information must be confirmed using the physical measurements and by the examination of the state of transport pipe by the intelligent robots inspectors. During the inspection, the robot stays in contact with pipe’s wall and the robot motion path will be imposed by the pipe profile and the pipe route. If the robot discovers the cracks in the pipe wall, this will signalize the defect zone. In this paper, for testing the robot motion control algorithms in the environment with constraints, the authors propose the using of the behavioral simulation method.
