| Past Functions: | SAM originally worked in the non-man-accessible sewers of Switzerland as a repair and maintenance robot, performing such tasks as drilling, grinding, injecting and filling. |
|
| Current Functions: | Since SAM has been with CityNet, it has taken on a different role within the sewers. Here, in a 4-step process, it installs fiber optic conduit networks within a city's existing infrastructure. SAM will be able to carry on its sewer rehabilitation skills as it will also be in charge of the maintenance and repair of all sewers that CityNet is in. |
