How can robots provide services for cities and their inhabitants? What are the benefits of using robots for the inspection and maintenance of urban infrastructures?

A new video created by Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya shows how ECHORD++ is encouraging cities to innovate through robotics, especially in the field of sewer inspection.

The video shows the concept of the ECHORD++ Public end-user Driven Technological Innovation (PDTI) scheme, which we offers R&D consortia the possibility to develop robotic technology according to the needs of public bodies.

Two application areas have been identified: Healthcare and Urban Robotics.
