BDTR-500 Robot: Modern Solutions for Crack Diagnostics in Silicate-Enamel Coated Pipes

Abstract

This paper presents the BDTR-500 robot, which is designed for crack diagnostics in silica-enamel coated pipes. The main achievements of the system include the use of GPS navigation and positioning methods, which ensure accurate location and rapid identification of emergency zones. New algorithms based on artificial intelligence and machine learning enable autonomous robot movement and high-quality data processing. High-megapixel cameras with smart lighting effectively visualize defects, while an intelligent energy management system extends autonomous operation time. Real-time data processing enables rapid damage localization and repair, and built-in sensors improve image stability on uneven surfaces. The robot can detect cracks as small as 0.1 mm. The project results confirm the high efficiency of the BDTR-500 in diagnostics and open up new possibilities for the application of this technology in pipeline monitoring and other challenging operating conditions.
