Description

Nanoplumbr is a fully autonomous robot that can be deployed inside any pipe to temporarily seal water leakages. It is especially relevant in situations where proper fixing is delayed, where it can help save big amounts of water. Nanoplumbr facilitates a quick response to new leaks thanks to a very simplified deployment process, and it is capable of operating without the need to cut the water supply to the affected area. The robot can be recovered and reused by repair professionals when they eventually access and fix the pipe.
