    Abstract: One embodiment provides a pipe inspection robot, including: a chassis configured to traverse through an interior of a water or sewer pipe; an extension piece coupled to the chassis; a water quality probe comprising a first end that couples to the extension piece and a sensing end distal thereto; an electric motor configured to reposition the sensing end of the water quality probe with respect to the extension piece; said electric motor acting to rotate the sensing end of the water quality probe to reposition the sensing end proximate to fluid containing water located proximate to a bottom part of the chassis; the sensing end configured to contact the fluid containing water for contact sensing of water quality data. Other aspects are described and claimed.

    Abstract: An embodiment provides a method of controlling a pipe inspection robot, including: detecting, from a headset, brain activity of a user wearing the headset; binning the brain activity of the user into one of a plurality of different bins; the binning comprising accumulating brain activity values for a period of time to establish a brain activity value for the period of time; determining, using the brain activity value, if a threshold level of brain activity has accumulated over the period of time; after the threshold level has been accumulated, identifying a control action to be sent to the pipe inspection robot based on the brain activity value; and controlling the movement of the pipe inspection robot using a control signal associated with the control action. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
