Abstract :
The pipeline inspection robots are being developed as manual or autonomous system and applied at home and abroad because examination in burial status is the most effective method in order to inspect pipeline under the ground. This inspection robot drives inside of pipeline and checks the pipeline status. In this paper, Sonde system is described which can confirm location of inspection robot at 10 meters below the ground using frequency generator when the robot is in the emergency situation.
