Abstract: An assembly and method for detecting cross bores and the location of underground pipe system assets includes an acoustic generator placed within an interior of the sewer system and an acoustic receiver placed within proximity of the lateral(s) of the pipe system. The acoustic generator generates an acoustic signal to transmit through the interior of a sewer pipe of the sewer system. A controller detects, in response to the acoustic receiver hearing the acoustic signal, a location of the underground pipe.

Abstract: A system and method for installing solar panels using an advanced robotic system of one or more autonomous machines is provided. The system for installing solar panels can include a solar panel setting robot provided in the form of a first robotic system, a plurality of solar panel carrying robots provided in the form of a second robotic system, and a control system designed to coordinate installation activities between the solar panel setting robot and the solar panel carrying robot. The installation process may include identifying an installation location for the first solar panel installation, driving one or more of the autonomous machines to the installation location, and initiating an installation process. The initiation process may include sending a notification that the installation process has been initiated, retrieving a solar panel from the solar panel carrying robot, aligning the solar panel, and completing the solar panel installation process.
