A concept, design, modelling and prototype of a remotely controlled out-pipe climbing robot for inspection such as nuclear power plant pipe, petrochemical complex pipes, rescue operations i.e, Manholes are discussed in this work. Situation awareness and its ambiguities are some of the main problems for rescue robotics. In a disaster area, there are many obstacles and confined passages. This robot is designed in a way which tackles and handles such situations. The robot consists of two moving modules and one connecting arm which can alternatively maneuver on the pipeline surface. The operator must perceive the environment and decide the robot motion based on limited sensor data. These make it difficult for the operator to perceive the situation. The operator should be aware of the relative size of the obstacles in comparison with the rescue robot and the direction of the robot to navigate the disaster area and avoid collisions with obstacles. Collision detection in the expected paths and their neighbours can be performed. This helps the robot along the course of its path which helps to find the victim and rescue the same. This mechanism is a good solution for pipe climbing ,obstacles and serves as a permanent solution to rescue people fallen into manholes.
