We develop and build next generation robotics with machine learning capabilities for the road maintenance sector and beyond

Our challenge

The Pothole Crisis
Pothole numbers and severity are at crisis levels in the UK. Over the last decade, 18 million potholes have been filled, at a cost exceeding £1bn. The cost of repairing all of the UK damaged roads is even more stagering, estimated to exceed £10bn and may take many decades to complete at the current rate. The situation is expected to worsen with the rates of pothole occurrence increasing across the UK due to ageing roads, the increasing number of road users, and enhanced vulnerability under new extreme climate scenarios. The posed solution to continually pump money into an increasingly out of control problem is unsustainable. Conventional remediation methods are time-consuming, labour intensive, and hence costly. This is in part due to the outdated and localised repair methods, and poor on-site quality testing means that future repair of the same site is often required.

​
At Robotiz3d, we build advanced detection and repair systems embedded in autonomous robotic platforms to address the expanding need for automated road maintenance. In addition to reducing risks to maintenance crews, the cost of repair, and damage-fix timescales, the system's AI capabilities can also predict road conditions, thus facilitating the advancement from reactive to preventative road maintenance.
