Design and Development of Model Cargo-Hyperloop using Pipe Following Robot

The project aims to develop a dedicated pipeline-based transportation system for the first/last mile connectivity from the mines to the user agencies by designing a pipe-following modular cargobot system driven by compressed air flow. The Compressed-Air Based Cargo Hyperloop (CABCH) can carry cargo in a series of cargobots equipped with a motion sensing system, passive speed control system and necessary electronic sensing system for loop health monitoring and data communication. Successful implementation of this innovative system has the potential to significantly reduce the reliance on trucks and railway wagons, alleviating congestion on overloaded freight tracks and roadways.
