Robotic Cable Bridge Inspection using Non Destructive Testing Method

Abstract

This paper presents the model of a semiautonomous robot for the inspection of overlay bridge electric cables. This robot can be employed in the cable path to know accurate, real time information about the cable status even in harmful environments. The Bluetooth module installed in the robot sends us the exact place of the fault. With this knowledge we can evaluate the danger level and rectify accordingly. Hence this robot travelled the inspection of human in the cable path. The design platform consists of a microcontroller, 2.4 GHz wireless communication module, sensors and motor drivers. Though there were several approaches made for the monitoring of underground cable, this paper indicates that a low-cost robotic system embedded with Bluetooth module can improve the efficiency of the cable inspection system.
