In view of the problems associated with under-machine inspection, there is a need to develop remote diagnostics systems capable of exploring narrow areas, capturing data and images from various modalities, and displaying the results at a remote location thus providing ease of identifying and diagnosing various machine problems. In this paper, we present a diagnostics system that is remotely controlled and can be deployed with a variety of imaging sensors to capture data. The software allows for segmenting the images and to mosaic the data for a thorough inspection.
