A pipeline reconditioning system and process is provided for reconditioning corroded or damaged pipelines. The reconditioning system includes a mobile topside unit storing and providing reservoirs and supplies of substances used in the pipeline reconditioning and the equipment for the reconditioning system, a management and towing units that are securely anchored in the pipeline at remote access points, and a towed delivery system array that includes a deployment sled that processes the substances and dispenses the reconditioning material, such as a composite epoxy resin with chopped glass or basalt filament fibers, between access points to the pipeline interior.

Processes and systems for preparing sections of pipeline pipe for machine processing to form pin and box ends for assembly into pipelines using mechanical press-fit pipe joints. The prepared pipe sections are prepared to be fully measured and documented during both manufacturing and assembly. Installed pipelines include pipeline data monitoring systems coupled to a pipeline data management center for receiving, archiving, and analysis of the data records to aid in administration, operation and management, and troubleshooting of pipelines.

There are provided a defect inspection apparatus, method, and program for, in a case of using an image of an inspection-target industrial product (test object) to conduct an inspection to check whether defects are present, allowing an image interpreter to precisely and efficiently detect defects. A possible-defect image D3 indicating a crack-like defect and a simulation result image P3 indicating the predicted growth of the crack-like defect are displayed. Sliders L1 and L2 and checkboxes CB1 are used to enable selection of possible defects and simulation results to be displayed. An image interpreter can use the checkboxes CB1 to select a type of possible defect to be displayed, and can use the sliders L1 and L2 to select possible defects to be displayed on the basis of the wall thickness of portions in which possible defects are detected and the size of possible defects.

The present invention is to provide a pipe evaluation robot and a pipe evaluation method, in which a robot may be injected into a pipe to generate a reverberation sound and to determine soundness of the pipe on the basis of the reverberation sound, wherein the pipe evaluation robot comprises: a body injected into a pipe; a transfer module which transfers the body inside the pipe; a striking unit provided in the body to strike the pipe; a plurality of acoustic measurement modules provided in the body to measure a striking sound generated when the striking unit strikes the pipe; and a reverberation sound analysis module which converts striking sound information provided through the acoustic measurement modules into analysis data and applies the converted analysis data to a convolutional neural network (CNN) to determine soundness of the pipe.

A system, apparatus, and method are provided for remote control of a robotic device, and more particularly, to a haptic system for robot teleoperation in confined spaces. A haptic feedback system for robot teleoperation is provided including: a robot; a robot control; and an upper-body haptic feedback garment including a first vibrating module array disposed across a front side of an upper body of an operator and a second vibrating module array disposed across a back side of the upper body of the operator, where the upper-body haptic feedback garment provides haptic feedback to the operator reflecting a position and orientation of the robot.
