Abstract
The objective of this study regards the using of robotics to improve the oil and gas industry. The study is necessary because, since the previous years, researchers and scientists have increased interest in finding the best means to protect oil and gas pipelines that are not replaceable, in order to detect the most important defects that occurs in oil and gas pipes. The most important defects, such as cracks, corrosion and leakage, occurs as a result of problems in welding areas, high temperature, aging in the infrastructure of pipelines and others. In order to solve the problem, the robot sends accurate data on the location and severity of the defects that occur in the pipes to the worker, for the purpose of early maintenance on the pipelines, to reduce risks in the future.
