A robotic camera deployed into a storm drain to investigate a pothole came face to face with a five-foot alligator.
At first, the stormwater crew operating the camera thought it was a toad because of the two glowing eyes. However, as the robot approaches the gator stands up and starts backing away revealing its long tail.But as the robotic camera got closer it became clear that the creature was an alligator. The four-wheel robotic camera is designed to be dropped into storm drains so it can explore storm pipes and search for anomalies beneath the roadway.
“They usually bring the robot out to inspect when there are potential roadway defects to see if any pipes have leaks, cracks, defects, et cetera underground,” adds Ovidedo City Government.The video highlights the multitude of ways imaging technology is used in our modern world. These specialized robotic crawlers use a camera mounted on the front capable of capturing high-quality video footage to identify issues.
