- In Whittier, California, autonomous robots known as Daxbots are being deployed to survey sidewalks and curb ramps for infrastructure hazards. These robots use sensors and GPS to map conditions, aiming to enhance ADA compliance and pedestrian safety across the city.
Timeline
Residents may see the robots operating in different neighborhoods through the coming weeks as the survey continues.
City officials say the devices use GPS, sensors, and laser mapping to collect data across hundreds of miles of sidewalks and trails. The information will be used to help improve ADA compliance and pedestrian safety throughout the city.
Citizen user video shows the compact machine, known as a Daxbot, traveling at walking speed while scanning pavement conditions. The robots are being deployed by the City of Whittier to map sidewalks, curb ramps, and walking paths in an effort to identify cracks, uneven surfaces, and other hazards that could affect accessibility.
A small autonomous robot was spotted slowly roaming a Whittier sidewalk Friday as part of a city infrastructure survey project.
