DEVELOPMENT OF INSECT ROBOT TO DETECT GAS LEAKAGE ON THE PIPELINE BY USING INTERNET OF THINGS (IOT) TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

Gas Pipeline detection is an important task where robotics could be applied extensively. Robotic pipeline device reported in literature are primarily of internal type require special preparation of pipelines for their deployment and retrieval. In this context, robotic system which can traverse along the external surface of the pipeline structure have the advantages of being able to detect without blocking the pipeline. In Japan 2013 the number of LPG accident by phenomenon is 200 also can cause lethal impact to victim and it can happen anywhere either in the house, factory, or underground pipeline. In this paper the design analysis and development of an external gas pipeline insect robot. The proposed system consist of three wheel where the front are used to control the direction and the back movement will follow. The used of NodeMCU board to control the dc motor and for the sensor will be used is gas sensor. The system will be controlled through internet from mobile application.
