MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641041959 A) filed by Tardid Technologies Pvt. Ltd., Bangalore, Karnataka, on April 1, for 'system and method for automated inspection and cleaning of a conduit.'
Inventor(s) include Dutta, Niladri; Verma, Aastha; Saxena, Uphar; Handi, Vinod; and Herle, Nagendra.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A system (100) for automated inspection and cleaning of a conduit inner surface includes a crawler (102) configured to traverse longitudinally within the conduit, an imaging unit (104) mounted on the crawler (102) to capture image data of the inner surface, a position tracking mechanism (106) to generate axial position data, a cleaning mechanism (110) to perform cleaning operations, a fluid dispensing unit (108) to dispense cleaning fluid, and a processing unit (112) communicatively coupled to all components. The processing unit (112) includes an image processing module (210) configured to receive image data, detect and classify surface anomalies, perform micro level segmentation to quantify defect parameters including defect area, and correlate anomalies with axial position data to generate spatially localised inspection outputs. The processing unit (112) controls the cleaning mechanism (110) and fluid dispensing unit (108) to execute cleaning operations."
