New self-propelled robotic device pinpoints leaks in pipes more accurately than existing methods

Green Car Congress

Researchers at MIT and King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM) in Saudi Arabia have devised a robotic system that can detect leaks in gas, oil and water pipelines at a rapid pace and with high accuracy by sensing a large pressure change at leak locations. A 4-inch pipe section is shown for reference.

Building a Zero Trust Security Model for Autonomous Systems

Cars That Think

Just last year, a half dozen precisely targeted malicious drones managed to slow oil production in Saudi Arabia for days, and more recently, several low-cost drones caused significant damage to oil tankers in the UAE. This illustrates the importance of detecting hostile drones entering secure spaces. hyperautomation.
