Autonomous robotics startup Civ Robotics has unveiled CivDash, an automated road marking system aiming to revolutionize lane painting with improved speed, accuracy and safety.
CivDash leverages robotics and GPS technology to handle pavement marking tasks that are traditionally tedious and hazardous for human crews. The mobile robot can paint up to 25 kilometers of markings per day with centimeter-level precision, drastically outpacing manual methods.
Remote operation allows workers to control CivDash from a distance while avoiding traffic exposure. Collision detection sensors also enhance safety, along with the capacity to work for 8 hours on a single charge.
The system is compatible with Trimble and other high-precision GPS for accurate plotting of lines, curves and symbols. Onboard CivPlan software enables data collection, spray can monitoring and detailed reporting.
Civ Robotics founder Tom Yesurun said, “We are committed to redefining the accuracy and efficiency of road markings by providing a tool that will set new industry standards.â€
By automating a complex, labor-intensive process, CivDash promises to increase lane marking productivity, cost-effectiveness and safety. The robot also ensures the clarity of road markings that is essential for traffic guidance.
The launch represents another major milestone for Civ Robotics after last year's introduction of its autonomous survey robot CivDot. The company continues to deliver innovative automation aimed at transforming critical infrastructure work for the modern era.
