2. 2.

   What technology helps robots identify cracks?

   Hint

   Remember the tools that robots use.

3. 3.

   What is the primary benefit of using robots in tunnel inspections?

   • Increased workload for humans
   • Reduction of worker exposure to hazards
   • Higher costs for inspections

   Hint

   Consider the impact on human workers.

4. 4.

   True or False: Robotic inspections provide less accurate results compared to manual inspections.

   Hint

   Think about the technology used in robotic systems.

5. 5.

   Design a research proposal exploring the implications of implementing robotic inspections in urban tunnel systems. Include aspects such as cost-benefit analysis and safety metrics.

   Hint

   Think about the long-term benefits versus initial costs.

6. 6.

   Critically assess the potential drawbacks of relying solely on robotic inspections for tunnel safety assessments.

   Hint

   Consider the balance between technology and human expertise.
