The Drainage Services Department will introduce three Artificial Intelligence (AI) Technologies applied in drainage works, including
(1) Virtual Construction Safety Assistant – it uses Vision Language Model embedded with safety knowledge obtained from construction safety regulations, documents and site images to monitor site safety.
(2) Tumbler Inspection Ball – it integrates modern robotics and AI technologies, and is a breakthrough in the inspection of underground pipes and tunnels under confined space conditions. It is capable of providing stable and clear 360-degree panoramic videos for condition surveys. Shaped like a roly-poly, the Tumbler Inspection Ball stays upright as it sails down pipes and tunnels, even under tur conditions. Its internal camera stabilising system and AI enhance video quality.
(3) Generative AI Object Oriented Debris (Good) Grab – it uses generative AI in its operation to efficiently and safely remove debris from water channel, taking into account factors such as debris accumulation and the presence of people and animals in the Grab’s operating zone.
