Abstract:

In secondary Indian roads, one often encounters potholes, which can be either dry or water-filled. Accordingly, to ensure safe driving, it is imperative to detect potholes and estimate their depths in either condition. In this paper, we develop a physics-based geometric framework, where such detection and depth-estimation can be accomplished using suitable
Here we consider diminishing resolution with increasing distance from the camera. Moreover, we design and fabricate a Semi-Automated Robot, which will discharge the required amount on concrete quantity, which is needed for the detected pothole, and to do the leveling process on the discharged concrete, and hence the pothole on the road filled completely.
In this experiment, we are also providing manual control of the robot; if the user does not want to use the automatic, then he can monitor using an android application which has all control of robot applications, like forwarding, backward, left, right, roll, fill.

Keywords:

IR sensor, Slider crank mechanism, Levelling, Semi-automated robot.
