These are pipe bots, water main controlling robots being developed in a lab at sheffield university. this is the camera and the lights, and there was a little microphone. the sensor laden robots are small enough to travel through a pipe and check the damage. its a very long network, about one million kilometres. in order to understand what is going on in the pipe, we need to have the presence of robots in these pipes, so it can continuously collect data about the onset of faults. the first teams...

And check for damage. its a very long network. its about a million kilometers. so in order to understand whats going on in the pipe, we need to have a presence of robots in the pipes so we can continuously collect data about onset of faults. the first teams of artificially intelligent pipe bots could be put to work underground within five years. the tiny machines are designed to be deposited into manholes, then search for faults and cracks before pipes burst or leak. if you think about the state...

Innovations like these. these are pipe bots, water main controlling robots being developed in a lab at sheffield university. this is the camera and the lights, and there was a little microphone. the sensor laden robots are small enough to travel through a pipe and check the damage. its a very long network, about one million kilometres. in order to understand what is going on in the pipe, we need to have the presence of robots in these pipes, so it can continuously collect data about the onset of...

So it can continuously collect data about the onset of faults. - the first teams of artificially intelligent pipe bots could be put to work underground within five years. the tiny machines are designed to be deposited into manholes and then search for faults and cracks before pipes burst or leak. if you think about the state of our infrastructure, it is so urgent to do something. its underground, its inaccessible, these are some of the most inhospitable environments on earth. without robotics, w...
