IPID system Using YOLOv8

IPID System – Robot Workflow

​Navigation & Mobility:

​Uses 4 DC motors driven by an L298N module for full directional control (forward, reverse, steering) inside pipelines.

​Receives real-time wireless control commands via a custom web interface.

​Live Video Streaming:

​An onboard ESP32-CAM unit captures high-definition video.

​Hosts a local Web Server over an independent Ad-hoc Wi-Fi network, streaming live video to the operator without internet dependency.

​AI Edge Inspection:

​Video frames are processed in real time using a lightweight YOLOv8 computer vision model.

​Delivers high-speed edge detection with an average latency of under 15 ms.

​Dual Defect Detection:

​Automatically identifies and highlights two structural defect classes: Cracks and Corrosion/Rust.

​Achieves 95.8% Precision and 95.2% mAP@0.5, displaying real-time visual bounding boxes and accuracy metrics for the operator.
