Future industries

Underwater robots keep infrastructure up

UTS researchers have developed a first-of-its-kind autonomous robot able to clean and inspect underwater structures, allowing maintenance crew to work safely from above the waves.

Preventing catastrophic sewer pipe failure

In partnership with Sydney Water, UTS researchers have built an innovative remote-controlled robot to traverse the pipes beneath our feet and identify dangerous concrete corrosion.

Revolutionising steel bridge maintenance

NSW Roads and Maritime Services were looking for a safer solution to the dirty and dangerous work of maintaining steel bridges. UTS researchers delivered – in the form of an autonomous robot.

Seafood traceability and quality assurance

An UTS collaboration with Sydney Fish Market is harnessing blockchain technology to help online seafood buyers track the catch through the supply-chain and verify fish origin and freshness.

Failure isn’t an option for pipes

It’s a mammoth and expensive task to maintain the infrastructure that delivers perhaps the most essential of our essential services: water. But predictive analytics is saving money, water and disruption by helping utilities pinpoint the pipes in their networks at greatest risk of failure.
