Design of pipeline operation and maintenance Platform based on underwater robot

In order to solve the problems in monitoring and maintaining underwater pipelines and exploring free waters, this paper designed a pipeline operation and maintenance platform based on underwater robots, aiming to solve the problems of poor real-time performance, low freedom and high human participation of existing underwater pipeline operation and maintenance products. The pipeline operational platform we designed adopted the sensor array method, combining with the fusion of visual, IoT cloud platform, data visualization, test triad protection scheme. It’s designed from three parts, that is perception layer, transport layer and application layer. The results of tests both in laboratory and the field of water environment achieved the desired effects.
