Robotic technology is one of the

advanced technologies, which is capable of
completing tasks at situations where humans
are unable to reach, see or survive. The
underground sewer pipelines are the major
tools for the transportation of effluent water.
A lot of troubles caused by blockage in
sewer pipe will lead to overflow of effluent
water, sanitation problems. So robotic
vehicle that is capable of traveling at
underneath effluent water determining
blockage using ultrasonic sensors and
clearing by means of drilling mechanism is

done. In addition to that wireless camera is
fixed which acts as a robot vision by which
we can monitor video and capture images
using DTMF tool. Thus in this project a
prototype model of underground sewer pipe
blockage clearance robot with drilling type
will be developed.
The robot underwater will detect the
obstacle that block the sewer pipeline with
the help of the ultrasonic sensor. The
wireless camera captures the real time video
of the obstacle and it can be viewed from
outside through a monitor. After determining
the physical parameters of the obstacle, the
driller is switched ON to drill OFF the
obstacle, using a remote control operated
from outside. The blocking obstacle will go
into pieces and which allows the effluent
water to move freely. After clearing the
blockage completely the robot vehicle can
be taken back.
