Automatic Pothole Filler

The automatic pothole filler is a mobile robot which follows a four step process to fill potholes.
• Identification:
The most important process is to identify the shape of the pothole, this can be done with the help of **
• Cutting/Milling:
We mill the surroundings of the pothole to remove the loose structure surrounding the pothole and form a
regular shaped slot such as a rectangle or a circle out of it.
• Cleaning:
Once the size of the pothole is determined, we need to clean the pothole with vacuum to remove dirt and
gravels.
• Filling:
This can be done in two ways:
1. Using a pre moulded slab of a particular size and placing it in the slot cut during the cutting process.
2. By the usual method, where we spray thar and then the stones.
• Rolling:
We need to hot roll after filling for better settling of the thar in the pothole.

We can use a pinion and rack mechanism for different processes or use a 3 dof robotic arm with an end effector
capable of changing tools depending on the process.
