SCIENTISTS at Leeds University are to create new robots and drones to help fix street lights and potholes as part of an ambitious plan to create “self-repairing cities.”
Academics are leading a pioneering £4.2m national research project to develop small robots which can identify problems with utility pipes, street lights and roads and fix them.

European cities are going to need a lot of repairs as the muzzie hordes tear up the continent.

Join me at the rally. Watch out for the blonde cute one.
Life IS going to imitate art and sooner than we think.
and how many guards to keep them from being stolen or destroyed???
Lol! That pic describes the public works workers around my city. For twenty years we complained about the state of some city-owned trees and planter boxes on our street. The boxes were falling apart from the growth of the trees, which were overgrown and impeding traffic. The concrete was cracked all around them.
So the city sends a crew of five or six guys. One guy started patching the planter boxes, one by one, while the other guys set out cones and more or less walked around doing nothing. This went on for a week, to fix perhaps four trees. And they only trimmed a couple trees, and botched the repair of the planter boxes. Basically one guy working and five goofing off for a week on what should have been a half day job.
It took over 25 years to get some potholes fixed. Why do we pay property taxes?
Awesome record. Got that, RECORD. LOL! As in vinyl. I’m sure it’s available on disc or thumb drive or something today. I-tunes, pandora or whatever.
"There are 4000 holes in the road in Blackburn Lancashire, one twenty-sixth of a hole per person, according to a council survey. If Blackburn is typical then there are over two million holes in Britain's roads and 300,000 in London."
