Shenzhen University has invented two surface measurement robots to be used at the National Speed Skating Oval - an ice venue for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. This is to meet the high standards required for ice foundation planeness - a key factor for faster and stronger tracks. The robots are used to smoothen and inspect the 12,000-square-meter ice surface at the venue to reduce flatness errors. The new measurement efficiency is 5 to 10 times higher than that of traditional methods.
