| Abstract | The broader/commercial impact of this Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will be to support more effective and accessible inspection of public drinking water infrastructure. Many water utilities across the United States struggle to monitor the condition of buried pipelines due to high inspection costs, aging systems, and the operational difficulty of accessing live, pressurized water mains. This project will develop and test a robotic inspection method that can move through water |
