According to overseas media reports, Hertfordshire, UK will launch the world'sFirstlyroadRoad RepairArtificial Intelligence(AI)robots, to test its autonomous repair technology. If the test is successful,The robot will save Hertfordshire County Council millions of dollars annually.
According to reports, this AI robot that can repair roads is called ARRES PREVENT. It is a product of cooperation between technology company Robotiz3d, scholars from the University of Liverpool, and HCC highway engineers from Hertfordshire County Council. Development began as early as 2020.
The machine is currently in the experimental stage of testing and will be officially put on the road for testing this year. Its working principle is not difficult. It uses artificial intelligence to automatically scan and identify the ground with a yoghurt camera on the road.Once cracks and potholes are detected, they are analyzed and either repaired immediately or added to a list for later repair..
When repairing potholes and cracks, robots inject filling materials 70% faster than humans, and because they can work full-time without rest, they are more efficient and produce better results than humans, and ultimately cost less.
Regarding netizens' concerns about losing their jobs, officials said that the introduction of this robot is not intended to replace humans, but to assist humans in doing better.It's about assisting humans to do better.However, such an answer is obviously not convincing. Some netizens pointed out that since machines can do a better job than humans and cost less, manual maintenance workers may not be necessary. It is only a matter of time before machines replace humans.
