Almost two million potholes are fixed every year, yet more are appearing on UK roads each day. Unfortunately, fixing it through conventional methods is a labour-intensive, time-consuming, and expensive task. According to DailyMail, the cost of repairing all of the UK’s roads that are currently damaged is estimated to over £10 billion.
Robot to patrol the streets in search of potholes
As an alternate option, researchers are building autonomous robots that will use AI to identify and fix potholes in UK roads. University spin-out, Robotiz3d Ltd. is developing the world’s first autonomous robot to patrol the streets in search of potholes, following the successful private investment. This first equity round for Robotiz3d involved a cash injection from A2E Industries and the University of Liverpool.
