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

Researchers trying to solve this problem are constantly producing more sophisticated damage-detection robots. Newly produced robots almost to the tap in the house will be able to detect damage to all water pipes.

75% smaller than previous generation robots

UK water services regulatory body watts officials announced that thanks to the new robot they have produced, they will prevent the wastage of millions of tons of water every year. 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 pipes under houses. to circulate without blocking the water flow.

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

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