Few things bother a driver more, to meet a bump or A crack on the road. This problem is especially serious in very large countries, such as the United States or China, where pavement maintenance is very expensive and complicated, with highways that measure several thousand kilometers.
The solution is Pave Traceran autonomous robot capable of patching the asphalt on its own. Locate the cracks and undercut, and fill them with a sealant compound.
According to the manufacturer, His work is equivalent to six operatorswith the difference that he works at night, seven days a week. And it doesn’t charge.
This is how Pave Tracer works, the asphalt robot
Pave Tracer is a robot without assistance that, according to its creators: «Performs the detection of cracks, the elimination of remains and the application of hot sealing with submailimetric precision, surpassing conventional human equipment.»
Technically it is a tracer robot capable of detecting cracks and road holes, to fill them.
As can be seen in this video, PAVER TRACER works similar to a roller: After mapping the road, performs several passes on the potholes, until it fills them completely:
The advantage of using an autonomous robot instead of operators is that You can work all night, completely in the dark.
As an aspiring robot, you simply assign the area that must be fixed, and it will not get out of the limits.
I suppose it will require some kind of supervision to close the road sections, while working.
This asphalt robot is not limited only to sealing cracks. Also Make a complete asphalt check to plan future reforms.
It collects high resolution data on the state of the surface in real time, and provides private municipalities and owners with detailed information about the status of the pavements, helping them to make decisions.
With specific recommendations for priority maintenance, it can be used to ensure that roads and parking lots are maintained in optimal conditions, while strengthening budgets and maintenance planning.
Pave tracer, the autonomous robot that paved roads, is already finished. Now Pave Robotics is looking for investors to be able to manufacture it. Maybe we could see it very soon covering in the Spanish roads.
