This paper presents the recent designs of the in-pipe inspection robotic system from the researchers in the academia and industrial fields. The scope of the paper will focus on the designs, locomotion of the systems and the actuator that will actuate or provide force to drive the in-pipe robot forward. The study covers the trends of the research from recent years to date. It is observable that most of the researches conducted by academic researchers focused on the designs and locomotion of the robots which commonly used wheel drive, screw drive and modular locomotion method. The screw drive in-pipe robotic system has a set of wheels located at certain distance apart from the centre of the body with a certain angle so that the system rotates like a screw when it is actuated. On the contrary, the in-pipe robotic system from the industry like oil and gas industry uses wheel type robot combined with other parts like disc, cups, scraper and attached with the sensory system to conduct the inspection.

This project related to develop and implementation of object recognition based on type of vehicle entering the main gate to facilitate the employment data of vehicles entering according to the types of vehicles. Data for the number of vehicles in accordance with the types recorded. In completing this project, there are two algorithms used, the detection algorithm and classification algorithm. Vehicles will be classified by comparison in terms of it front light area and will be stored in three types of vehicles; sedan, multipurpose van or van, and four wheel drive. Wireless camera is mounted with 1.6 meters high on the pipe rod at the guard house as input for the processing algorithm. Vehicle image will be captured by a wireless camera and then processed to identify its type. Data for the type of vehicle and number of vehicles by type is shown through the Graphical User Interface (GUI). Inflow and outflow of vehicles can be monitored via the control unit (GUI) without human monitoring at the entrance.
