Autonomous Street Painting Robot

Project Type: Self-Initiated

Project Description

Road infrastructure and road painting have a parallel relationship. As the human population increases, the need to build roads grows and of course painting the road will follow as well as maintenance. The machines and tools used nowadays are all operated manually which leads to the need for more labor to paint and ensure safety. Furthermore, the time it takes to finish the painting process, including the maintenance, raises the demand for a solution that improves the efficiency of the operation. Also, the cost of the process is high. The machines and labor that are required for every road increase the expenses exponentially considering how slow the process is. In addition, there are two types of trucks used during operation, one for marking the road and the other for painting. When working on tight roads and small areas, those trucks wonأ¢â‚¬â„¢t be able to operate as intended. Also, the CO2 emissions caused by using heavy trucks will have a negative impact on the environment.
