Concept scenario
Plumbing Leak & Pipe Burst Early Warning
Scenario record: it defines the environment, the mission flow and a proposed hardware and software configuration. The list below is a configuration proposal, not an installation inventory. Field projects lists deployed systems and their measurements.
- Environment
- Indoor, facility
- Operating mode
- Supervised autonomy
- Proposed robot
- Unitree AS2
The problem addressed
Hidden water leaks, pipe bursts, and late detection of indoor flooding in malls.
Draft mission flow
- 1Robot listens to plumbing lines on technical floors with acoustic sensor; analyzes leak sound frequencies.
- 2Thermal camera maps abnormal cooling/heating points on pipe surfaces (leak indicators).
- 3Wall and ceiling humidity levels monitored; above-normal humidity increase triggers hidden leak alert.
- 4Automatic urgent plumber call opened with leak severity and location; valve shut-off recommended to minimize estimated damage.
Proposed hardware
- Acoustic Emission Sensor
- Thermal Camera
- Humidity Sensor
- HD Camera
- Ultrasonic Flow Meter
Proposed software
- Navigation
- Pipe line following route along mall technical floors and plumbing shafts
- Model
- Leak Sound Frequency Analysis, Pipe Thermal Anomaly Mapping, and Humidity Spread Prediction
- Integration
- Mall Plumbing Maintenance System (CMMS) and Water Management Platform

Values are manufacturer data. Scenario fit is determined by comparing these limits with site conditions.
From scenario to installation
Feasibility is determined by the site survey: floor and route, network coverage, the charging point, intervention responsibilities and the conditions under which the robot must stop. The survey report defines the scope, the constraints and the commissioning steps.
