Power lines are often found in rural, forested areas and only monitored on average once every five years. While aware of the problem and eager for a solution, utilities companies don\u2019t know where to best spend their operating dollars. And without better monitoring tools, it\u2019s difficult to know where and when to do maintenance. <strong><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/uwaterloo.ca\/news\/robot-help-reduce-wildfire-risk-remote-areas\">Read more at the University of Waterloo\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.enn.com\/articles\/73188-a-robot-to-help-reduce-wildfire-risk-in-remote-areas\">ENN<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vauen\/a-robot-to-help-reduce-wildfire-risk-in-remote-areas\/\">A Robot to Help Reduce Wildfire Risk in Remote Areas<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[1151,11248,2842,606,607,608,2657],"class_list":["post-116378","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-reduce","tag-risk-remote-area","tag-robot","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien","tag-wildfire"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116378","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116378"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116378\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116378"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116378"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116378"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
