Claim 14:
15. A method for inspecting an above-ground pipeline, the method comprising:
controlling each of a plurality of motors of a pipeline inspection robot to drive a plurality of traversal components of the pipeline inspection robot thereby causing the pipeline inspection robot to traverse along a pipeline, wherein each of the plurality of motors is controlled individually;
displaying on a graphical user interface, based on image data captured by imaging components of the pipeline inspection robot, a portion of the pipeline;
controlling a speed of the pipeline inspection robot on the pipeline, using one or more drive control systems, based on positional data of the pipeline inspection robot and an acquisition speed of the imaging components such that the portion of the pipeline is displayed on the graphical user interface contemporaneously with movement of the pipeline inspection robot along the pipeline; and
controlling each of the plurality of motors to cease movement of the plurality of traversal components.
