Successfully fabricated pipeline robots

One of the robots of pipelines of ships has been built successfully by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Tan Tien, Deputy Dean of Mechanical Engineering Faculty of Polytechnics University (VNU).

This robot is electronically controlled with a compact design, which can enter into pipes with a minimum height of 24cm, a width of 30cm (image).

Robots can get into the pipeline, run to and fro with the brush to clean the dirt, adhesion in the pipe of the ship. Robot controllers can use the camera on the control unit to know the dust level in the pipeline and 'direct' the robot to the point of cleaning with a clearance of up to 15m.

Previously, the pipeline of all types of ships in Vietnam are due to workers to perform periodically with the manual is to disassemble the parts of the pipeline.

This robot is made according to the order of a company at a cost of about 500 million. Associate Prof. Dr. Nguyen Tan Tien noted that the remarkable point in the robot construction of this pipe is that 'Vietnam has mastered this technology'.
