Urban landscapes are witnessing an extraordinary shift as they embrace the future with autonomous robots that are redefining street maintenance. Imaginations are turning into reality on city roads where these self-driving machines patch up potholes and expertly lay asphalt, setting a new standard for precision and efficiency in the process.
Innovators such as Doosan Robotics and Hyundai are on the front lines of this movement, deploying autonomous robots that once required the toil of crews. Hyundai shone a spotlight on their Construction Xite tractor at CES 2024, a beacon of progress for driverless excavation and paving. Meanwhile, Doosan’s cobots demonstrate astonishing material-sorting abilities, a testament to the advanced problem-solving skills imbued by AI.
