And check for damage. it's a very long network. it's about a million kilometers. so in order to understand what's 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 of our infrastructure, it is so urgent to do something. ir' underground, it's inaccessible. it's...

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. it's 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 of artificially intelligent pipe bots could be put to work underground wit...

That is steadily decreasing, but water companies say finding the smallest leaks is one of their biggest challenges. the water industry's economic regulator, ofwat, says leakage in england and wales is now at its lowest level ever, but three billion litres per day is still lost to leaky pipes, enough to fill more than 1,000 olympic—sized swimming pools. companies have agreed to cut that wasted water in half by 2050, and 0fwat says more needs to be done. we've covered off all of the big leaks that people see. it's the smaller leaks. this one wasn't visible, and it's more and more of those leak...

Across england and wales, about 20% of the water supply is lost through leaks. that is steadily decreasing. but water companies say finding the smallest leaks is one of their biggest challenges. the water industry's economic regulator, 0fwat, says leakage in england and wales is now at its lowest level ever, but three billion litres per day is still lost to leaky pipes. that's enough to fill more than a thousand 0lympic sized swimming pools. companies have agreed to cut that wasted water in half by 2050 and 0fwat says more needs to be done. we've covered off all of the kind of big leaks that p...

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. it's underground, it's inaccessible, these are some of the most inhospitable environments on earth. without robotics, we won't be able to do it. essex and suffolk water is also testing sealants that can be essex and s...
