Part 8/10:
- How it works:
The robots clean and inspect glass panels, highlighting areas with potential cracks. Ultrasound detects internal fissures, while thermal cameras identify heat signatures associated with micro cracks.
- Current Limitations:
Such robots are still in development stages, expected to become commercially available within a couple of years. Until then, regular manual inspections and high-quality manufacturing standards remain the best preventative measures.
Practical Tips for Homeowners and Builders
Use tempered or laminated glass in high-risk areas like showers, balconies, and near walkways.
Add safety films to existing glass panels to prevent shards from scattering if shattered.
