Claim 14:
15. A pipe repair apparatus for repairing partially collapsed pipes, the pipe repair apparatus comprising:
an actuation assembly comprising:
a plurality of actuation arms, wherein each actuation arm is configured to move between a retracted configuration and an extended configuration to move a partially collapsed part of a partially collapsed pipe from a partially collapsed form to a non-collapsed form; and
a control module configured to control each individual actuation arm in the plurality of actuation arms independently, wherein the control module is configured to control at least two of the plurality of actuation arms such that at least one of the actuation arms in the plurality of actuation arms applies a different force to the partially collapsed pipe compared to at least one other actuation arm in the plurality of actuation arms.
