Mini Robots Developed to Detect Water Leaks

Even though the water pipes that carry water from the water treatment plants that are miles away every day to the taps in our house, are produced strong enough to remain functional for decades, these pipes become leaky and leaky after a while. It wastes millions of tons of water every year..

Researchers working to solve this problem are constantly producing more advanced damage detection robots. Newly produced robots almost to the tap in your house will be able to detect damage to all water lines.

75% smaller than previous generation robots

UK Water Services Regulatory Authority ofwatt officials announced that they will prevent the waste of millions of tons of water every year thanks to the new robot they have produced. Officials, who currently use robots to detect waterlines, could only examine outlines due to the size of the older robots. But newly produced robots are so small that they can even reach water lines under houses. able to circulate without blocking the flow of water.

The robots, which have much more advanced technologies compared to the old type robots, first detect the anomalies in the water flow with the help of their microphones, cameras and lights, detect whether there is a leak in the water and then detect this hole or crack with the camera. These semi-autonomous robotscan switch to user control when desired.

Ofwat officials report water leaks in the UK despite using old-style large robots throughout 2022. by 6% announced that they were reducing If this rate is since 2018 has reached 40% in total.
