Johan Louwers writes "Robots will crawl tubes in a short while to investigate power cables running in the tubes to make sure they are still undamaged or in need for a repair.

Making use of infrared thermal ****ysis and acoustic partial discharge ****ysis, the robot will be checking mile after mile of cable while crawling his way in the tubes."
