A robot deployed to check water leakage in Vadgaon Sheri has exposed 40 illegal water connections inside a PMC main pipeline. The inspection followed repeated complaints of low water pressure from residents. PMC says no direct taps are ever authorised on main lines, raising questions on how such large-scale water theft went unnoticed. A detailed investigation has been ordered to identify those involved and stop further misuse.

Autonomous Driving: Human level Control for Autonomous Dodging of Adversarial Traffic with Bi-Directional Traffic Negotiation.
In this demo one can see our autonomous vehicle at @swaayatt autonomously dodging adversarial traffic on a tight single-lane road with muddy sides, showcasing the robustness of our #autonomousdriving technology.
Earlier, on 27th of August, while demonstrating to representatives from Suzuki Motor Corporation from Japan, we did a low-speed autonomous dodging on a wide road. We increased the complexity for our autonomous vehicle even further and last week we performed autonomous dodging and bi-directional negotiation at much higher speeds.
While our vehicle was navigating autonomously, we asked our engineering team to use a bicycle, a bike, and an SUV to cut the path of our autonomous vehicle, at random / at will, creating a very challenging adversarial scenario, where the sole responsibility of collision avoidance, detouring is that of our #autonomousvehicles.
As a disclaimer,
a) The person cutting the path of our autonomous vehicle by overtaking it through a bicycle was myself.
b) The person driving the SUV at high-speeds on muddy roads overtaking and then cutting the path of autonomous vehicle is again myself.
c) The team member who cut the path our autonomous vehicle at 22-sec and 2:40-mark in the video is our mechanical engineer Nipun Shah and the team member who cut the path with a bike at 1:46-mark is our robotics engineer Paras Rana.
Furthermore, our vehicle also performed traffic-cone negotiation, as well as generic bi-directional traffic on a single lane road with ease -- a capability that Swaayatt Robots is a pioneer of and has been demonstrating since October 2023.
The motion planning and decision making framework performing dodging and bidirectional negotiation is something I have been personally developing for quite some time now, and it uses one RL agent. This underlying policy is being scaled up for Level-5 autonomy via deep #reinforcementlearning.

Known as the Great Wall of Maharashtra, Mangi–Tungi rises boldly from the Sahyadris and immediately commands your attention.
With its steep stairways, ancient Jain statues carved into the rock and breathtaking ridge-line views, every step feels like part of a larger story.
Pune traffic is going from bad to worse. Every road is jammed. Public transport simply cannot keep up and road infra is crumbling. Something needs to be done about it.

@PMCPune this is going on since years, how can you not clean the road ? @fpjindia
