DESCRIPTION

SIGMA 250A is a Mobile-Robots from TARIS. It is built for Data Collection, Inspection, Scanning. Key figures: 300 min runtime, released 2023.

SIGMA 250A is TARIS's autonomous pipeline inspection robot with neural-network control, introduced in 2023 and described by the company as the first Russian autonomous robot with artificial intelligence for underground utilities. It inspects pipelines from 250 mm in diameter and, working fully autonomously, covers sections of up to 4 km without an operator, choosing its trajectory from camera and sensor data and steering around obstacles; as an option it can also lay cables and ropes. A compact four-wheel-drive stainless-steel transport module, sealed by nitrogen pressurisation, carries front and rear cameras, lighting and a Wi-Fi radio antenna, and is powered by a removable LiFePO4 battery that keeps working down to -30 C and gives up to 5 hours of autonomous operation. Its Full HD camera module has optical stabilisation, 120x total zoom, unlimited rotation, 2,000-lumen LEDs and measuring lasers. Besides the autonomous mode it can be driven by radio or, where radio is unreliable, by cable: with TARIS's light G6 cable it travels up to 2 km in a dry pipe. The operator uses a sealed case station with 7-inch and 17-inch touchscreens, an industrial laptop or a rugged tablet, and recorded inspections are analysed and reported in TELESCAN.
