Kroto Finder where ‘Kroto’ is a Greek word which means ‘Crack’, this in general gives an idea over the project where we use wireless communication in order to control and operate a robot which inspects the internal structure of a fluid pipe in order to determine any sorts of irregularities along with dents or other types of damages. Various types of sensors are mounted on the robot along with a surveillance camera with live streaming and recording capabilities. These sensors along with camera are connected to the robot and data which is derived from camera is transferred to the manually operated control station, by means of wireless communication. Wireless communication allows easy and uninterrupted transfer of data for continuous assessment. All sorts of decisions are taken by a manual supervisor based on the data which is received on the control station. Due to the high risk which is involved in the maintenance of these fluid pipes these decisions taken from time to time prove to be extremely useful and in turn can be used to avoid any sorts of accidents due to poor maintenance of these pipes which may result in damage to the Natural, Economic and Human resources. Therefore, the health of these pipes is of utmost importance and need to be regularly inspected internally and in a safe and feasible manner.
