Students at the Tomsk Polytechnic University (TPU) are working on a robot that will be able to fill up holes in the roadbed, TPU has announced.
To identify and address a problem, the robot will be expected to “see” with a machine vision system which will help it recognize the key elements on any road, whether it’s road marking, traffic lights, or signs. The prototype that is being currently developed can pinpoint roadbed holes by “seeing” a difference in color. The robot can fill up holes with a special emulsion, using jet injection technology.
