Driving telco transformation

A new five-year agreement with NBN Co will see UTS Robotics Institute experts help tackle some of the challenges facing the telecommunications sector.

Robots are coming: not to steal your job, but to share it

By 2030, up to 800 million jobs could be displaced by automation. At this point, it’s not a question of if the robots will arrive in your workplace, but when.

Preventing catastrophic sewer pipe failure

UTS researchers have built a remote-controlled robot to traverse the sewer 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.
