The Heavy Sludge Robotic System will remove the debris and sludge from the bottom of the tank to designated containers for processing and filtration. Maximum depth of the sludge that can be removed using the proposed system is 0.8 meter. This system prepares the tank for the inspection robot. This is accomplished by designing a Hydraulic Track Driven vehicle that is equipped with Navigation System (NAV), Sonar and Cleaning Plenums (4-inch pump) and an Auger.
