Scientists have developed miniature robots called ‘Pipebots’ to patrol the water supply network to check for faults and prevent leaks. About three billion litres of water are lost every day through ...

In a world-first, UK researchers are developing tiny robots capable of scuttling around water and sewage pipes locating blockages, corrosion and leaks — so that they can be addressed early and in a ...

With a length of around 350,000km, the UK’s water network dates back to the Victorian era. As the underground infrastructure is ageing, cracks and faults are causing water to be continuously leaked.

Tiny robots could help fix leaky water pipes without having to dig up roads, according to new research. The miniature machines - called "Pipebots" - are the same size as a toy car and can track down ...

In a world-first, UK researchers led by Professor Kirill Horoshenkov are developing tiny robots capable of locating blockages and leaks in water and sewage pipes. Off Water is an essential resource, ...

It was just this week that we heard about the SPD1, a spider-inspired robot designed to inspect sewer lines. Well, it looks like the bot won't be alone down there, as the recently announced Joey robot ...
