Harbour Bridge robots are winners

ROBOTS that do most of the dirty work on the Sydney Harbour Bridge have been recognised in a prestigious science award.

The Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) and the Sydney University of Technology collaborated on the technology and are the finalist in the ANSTO Eureka Prize for innovative use of technology.

"It's a fantastic recognition for the two grit-blasting robots which help carry out two-thirds of the dirty work to maintain our iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge," an RMS spokesman said.

"The 25 kilogram robots use internal sensors and cameras to locate old paint and grit to then blast the material away as part of the $20 million annual maintenance program on the bridge."

The technology is a culmination of six years of development and can be applied to any steel infrastructure around the world.
