Line 7: <!-- EDIT BELOW THIS LINE --> Robotic [[non-destructive testing]] (NDT) ~~crawlers are~~is a ~~type~~method of inspection ~~tooling~~ used to assess the [[structural integrity]] of petroleum, natural gas, and water installations. ~~These~~Crawler-based robotic tools are commonly used ~~in the energy and transportation industries, especially~~ for in-line inspection (ILI) applications in [[pipelines]] that cannot be inspected using traditional [[Pigging#Intelligent_pigging\|intelligent pigging tools]] (or unpiggable pipelines). Robotic NDT tools can also be used for mandatory inspections in inhospitable areas (e.g., tank interiors, subsea petroleum installations) to minimize danger to human inspectors, as these tools are operated remotely by a trained technician or NDT analyst. These systems transmit data and commands via either a wire (typically called an umbilical cable or tether) or wirelessly (in the case of battery-powered tetherless crawlers).
