Advances in robotics and artificial intelligence are making new forms of teamwork – with automation, human-robot collaboration and machine-to-machine collaboration – the new frontier in the workforce of tomorrow.
Our research projects
Preventing catastrophic sewer pipe failure
In partnership with Sydney Water, UTS Robotics Institute researchers 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.
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.
Taming of the screw
World-first robotics technology trialled on a construction site demonstrates the vast potential of mass timber building projects.
Our research labs
UTS Robotics Institute has four lab facilities showcasing our depth of resources and skillsets to work on fundamental and applied research around infrastructure, intelligent robots and human-robot interaction.
