Abstract: A pothole-repairing apparatus includes a frame, first and second continuous track assemblies connected to opposite sides of the frame, a brush assembly connected to the frame, an asphalt pouring assembly disposed on the frame, at least one ultrasonic sensor disposed on the frame, a grader blade connected to the frame, a power source disposed on the frame, a controlling circuit disposed on the frame, a transceiver disposed on the frame, and a plurality of motors for controlling the operations of the first and second continuous track assemblies, the brush assembly and asphalt pouring assembly. The brush assembly can be used to clean a pothole free of debris. The asphalt pouring assembly can be used to fill the pothole with an asphalt mix. The asphalt mix can be compacted in the pothole by driving over the asphalt mix with the first and second continuous track assemblies.
