Sensing attachments currently integrated onto the Responder Platform
Mechanical attachments currently integrated onto the Responder Platform
The versatile design of the Responder platform allows for the attachment of various pipe inspection technologies, including sensors and mechanical devices. Sensor attachments record information on the robot environment and pipe condition. This data is stored for post processing, analysis, and reporting. The Responder can monitor over 15 different sensors simultaneously on a single inspection run, eliminating the need for multiple deployments, and automatically synchronizes the recorded data to pipe location. Mechanical attachments are used for advanced pipe inspection and to perform work in the pipe. Like a skid steer loader or an excavator, the Responder utilizes a standard mechanical interface to attach various devices.
