"Called Lighthouse, the robot looks + like a badminton birdie," reports Fast Company. "A soft + 'skirt' on the device is covered with sensors. As it travels + through pipes, propelled by the flowing water, suction tugs at + the device when there's a leak, and it records the location, + making a map of critical leaks to fix." From the report: MIT + doctoral student You Wu spent six years developing the design, + building on research that earlier students began under a + project sponsored by a university in Saudi Arabia, where most + drinking water comes from expensive desalination plants and + around a third of it is lost to leaks. It took three years + before he had a working prototype. Then Wu got inspiration + from an unexpected source: At a party with his partner, he + accidentally stepped on her dress. She noticed immediately, + unsurprisingly, and Wu realized that he could use a similar + skirt-like design on a robot so that the robot could detect + subtle tugs from the suction at each leak. Wu graduated from + MIT in June, and is now launching the technology through a + startup called WatchTower Robotics. The company will soon + begin pilots in Australia and in Cambridge, Massachusetts. One + challenge now, he says, is creating a guide so water companies + can use the device on their own. + + + ** What we are not told ...
