eRover – Guardian of the Invisible Shield between Toxic Sludge and Groundwater
eRover is the first Slovak-made robot that safeguards the integrity of geomembranes in tailings dams, landfills, and lithium brine ponds. A lightweight, 4 mm aluminum monocoque, futuristic lines, and wheel-mounted electrodes let it scan 30,000 square meters a day without a single human step. RTK GPS and AI detect hairline cracks and prevent cyanide, heavy metals, or leachate from escaping, protecting water, soil, and human health. Running 24/7 on minimal power, it is designed and built in Bratislava yet already operates from Chile’s Salar de Atacama to Australia’s Olympic Dam and European green-tech sites. eRover proves that a big idea from a small Slovak team can reshape industry and safeguard the planet.
