May 28 (Asia Today) -- Korea Water Resources Corporation, also known as K-water, is accelerating the use of four-legged artificial intelligence robots to inspect large-scale water treatment plants.
The state-run water agency is adopting robots to improve facility inspections and safety management in hazardous areas and during nighttime patrols at water treatment plants.
Under K-water's plan to introduce inspection robots at metropolitan water treatment plants, four-legged robots will be deployed this year and next year at four facilities in Seongnam, Hwaseong, Gosan and Gongju.
