Field operator variability is an important factor capable of significantly affecting water data quality due to factors like limited visibility, causing potential headaches for collection system managers who need to be able to see as many details as possible to make accurate assessments.  To address issues like this, there is the RedZone Robotics Solo Robots, the first robot capable of performing unmanned sewer inspections and practically eliminating the risk of overlooking potential defects in pipes from eight to twelve inches in diameter.

The Solo is designed to be efficiently and autonomously deployed, capable of capturing an entire 360 degrees of an entire pipe segment in a controlled environment using a PC.  With this technology, there is no need to have a PACP certified operator available for deployment as these reports can be generated offline using the Solo.  The Solo size and capabilities make it easy to carry around and deploy in areas where implementation may be difficult due to limited access, and it also reduces traffic control while remaining quiet.  Inspection throughput is exponentially increased using the Solo Robot and with its extended battery life it is also environmentally friendly.
