📹 Video: TUBERS Project Testing in Doetinchem

This video documents the week of testing for the TUBERS project, held at the premises of the Vitens company in Doetinchem, Netherlands. The project focuses on developing innovative tools for inspecting drinking water pipe networks.

The core objective was to test the latest advancements, including:
Soft Robot (Bendabl): Demonstrated its ability to successfully progress through the entire test loop, both dry and filled with water, achieving the main objective.
Snake-like Robot (DEMCON): Progress in software and autonomy was noted, but testing was unfortunately hampered by unresolved sealing issues.
Ultrasonic Sensor (THL): Experienced material difficulties during testing, though its function had been previously validated.

The week was a crucial opportunity for project partners (including water companies like Vitens) to validate initial concepts, measure progress against technical objectives, and foster valuable exchanges toward developing a viable inspection service.
