Abstract The objective of my engineering project was to develop an autonomous robot capable of traversing roads and identifying potholes. The robot was designed to accurately measure the dimensions of each pothole and utilize a novel, eco-friendly material to repair it. In addition to pothole detection and repair, the robot was also programmed to generate a precise geographical map of each pothole's location. By achieving these goals, the project aimed to provide an efficient, cost-effective solution to the longstanding issue of pothole damage on roads.
