TUBERS Project

The TUBERS project aspires to become a definitive leakage solution for the European water supply sector. By jointly developing a snake-like resident robot, a modular soft robotic platform, a Decision Support System and the needed base stations, the aim is to address the critical demand for improved maintenance of the water distribution pipeline system through 24/7 inspection and targeted in-situ repairs. Therefore, when the project’s ecosystem of robotic platforms and tools is market-ready, it will be able to save 158GWh of energy and 79,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions in a 5-year period. The TUBERS project is part of the digital transformation movement that strives for ground-breaking scientific research, tech-based economic growth, sustainability and societal improvement in Europe.

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe programme under Grant Agreement N°101070115.
