For the first time, China has utilized AI-powered robots for road repair. This innovative approach marks a new era in road maintenance, showcasing how technology can make roads safer and more durable.
The project spans a 158-km section of a high-speed highway connecting Beijing to southern provinces. The entire process is managed with unmanned vehicles and drones, which monitor the road’s condition and provide real-time visual data.
Using image analysis, robots precisely identify areas requiring maintenance and move to those locations to carry out repairs. These machines are unique in their ability to respond to emerging issues and adapt to various conditions during work.
According to Highways Industry, these technologies enable safer and more cost-effective road maintenance, reducing risks for workers and minimizing costs.
This initiative also highlights the immense potential of artificial intelligence, robotics, and autonomous technologies in building and maintaining infrastructure.
