Many chemical stable goods are transported through pipelines. These pipelines are subjected to damage due to environmental factors. To avoid this, frequent cleaning of pipelines is mandatory, but cleaning of these lines by human is a tedious and expensive process. To tackle these issues, we have developed an autonomous robot which travels inside the pipeline and cleans it. This robot is light and compact and made up of simple and cheap components.
