Robotic Maintenance VehiclesBorn from Pioneer Industrial Systems’ effort to make highway maintenance safer, Robotic Maintenance Vehicles builds truck-mounted robotic systems for roadwork, beginning with its patented Robotic Crack Sealer. The Toledo-based company integrates a FANUC robot with crack-sealing equipment and AI vision so one operator can maintain pavement while staying inside the vehicle, collecting detailed work data along the way. RMV is also developing additional road-maintenance platforms, including a traffic rover and robotic pothole filler.MONCLOVA, OH
