- The 'RoboFish,' the world's first underwater drone-based non-disruption water pipeline diagnostic system, is an innovative technology for precise inspection of high-pressure large-diameter water pipelines without interrupting water supply. Its performance allows for inspection of large-diameter water pipes, from 500㎜ to a maximum of 2,000㎜, up to 1㎞ in both directions (500m in one direction), even under high water pressure conditions of up to 10kgf/㎠. A significant technological advantage is its self-propulsion capability of up to 3 knots (2.5m/s), enabling free movement and inspection inside pipelines even in the absence of water flow.The 'RoboFish,' the world's first underwater drone-based non-disruption water pipeline diagnostic system, is an innovative technology for precise inspection of high-pressure large-diameter water pipelines without interrupting water supply.
