BRKX is a portable road repair device designed for one-person operation, developed to quickly and efficiently address the issue of neglected potholes in urban areas. With its lightweight structure, it can be easily carried and installed by a single user, and its automated repair process ensures simple operation for anyone. Using the built-in TOF camera, the device scans the pothole, and the support legs automatically extend to match uneven ground, providing stable positioning. The stored emulsion and asphalt inside the unit are then precisely dispensed and applied through a nozzle, enabling fast and accurate repairs. In addition, the top-mounted display allows real-time monitoring of remaining repair materials, battery status, and work progress, making maintenance easy. BRKX enables emergency repairs without the need for large-scale equipment or manpower, reducing the burden on municipalities and road maintenance agencies while effectively improving public safety. Combining advanced technology and thoughtful design, BRKX is a next-generation road repair solution tailored for the evolving demands of urban infrastructure.
