Public infrastructures, such as tunnels and bridges, are important for our daily life and their increased deterioration causes concern. Culvert pipes are installed underground below roads, and their damage has an impact on the function and integrity of infrastructures. However, culvert pipes in closed and confined spaces are difficult to inspect, and their conditions are generally not evaluated. In this paper, we describe the findings of field experiments involving the inspection of the inside of culvert pipes via robotic systems.
