ABSTRACT:
A robotic sampling device has a maneuverable, telescoping sample collector comprising a sample collecting arm and a propulsion module containing means for supporting and facilitating movement. Most preferably, the means for supporting and facilitating movement are wheels. The robotic sampling device also contains means for increasing traction for the propulsion module. The sampling device is remotely controlled. The sampling device contains at least one light source and a viewer that provides information for navigation and sample collection. The wheels of the propulsion module contain extendable pins which promote increased traction. The telescoping sample collector may also be rotated or tilted through a 180 degree arc relative to the axis of the pipe. The robotic sampling device also provides a means for collecting, labelling, and storing a sample, as well as cleaning the sample collector in preparation of another sampling event.
