Eco Factor: Traffic regulating robots powered by solar energy.
Qatar’s Public Works Authority (Ashghal) with support from the Qatar Science Club will soon be developing new robots that will replace the manual methods used in guiding traffic at varies road project sites. The green robots will be powered by solar energy harvested by onboard solar panels.
The solar panels will continuously recharge the robot’s built-in batteries that would enable them to function for 24 hours without interruption. The robots will control traffic at major ongoing road projects in Doha and outskirts.
