As Simple as Dolphin Automatic Pool Cleaner: Robot-Refiller
Periodical inhalations with fuel fumes is quite a doubtful action. The invention by Rotec Engineering is aimed at reducing the number of harmful work places and rejecting such a job as a service station attendant.
One-handed robot doesn’t await tips when refilling your car.
It is common knowledge that laziness is the engine of the progress. If you haven’t yet noticed we’ve been among robots for quite a long period of time. Washing up, cleaning, washing… And it seems that the pace of robotization in not going to be slowed down.
The robot-refiller Tankpitstop that has been create by a Dutch engineering company Rotec Еngineering is an obvious proof. What is it peculiar for? Well, the metal friend totally manages the refilling process. The “eyes” of the “bandit” are special cameras and special ultrasonic sensors, the brain – a computer which defines the make of the car with the help of special software and then controls the electro mechanic part of the device to perform these or that actions.
The electronics via the outer cameras identifies the car when it is entering the station. In a matter of seconds the computer compares the received data with that in its database and gives out the result: the make of the car, the necessary fuel and defines where the filler is.
As soon as the car stops and the driver pays for the fuel the robot gets into action: it opens the filler cap, unscrews it, takes the gun, puts it into the tank and pushes the trigger. By the way only the cars with no lock on the tank cap will be able to use such refilling stations.
The development of the system has been going on for a few years so far, but the first beta model was launched in a refilling station in Emmeloord. It is not known whether and when the robots will get widely spread. Nevertheless, the plans of the Dutch authorities are quite ambitious – they plan to automate up to 80% of refilling stations in the country.
