A new climbing robot is revolutionising the way inspections are carried out inside 7.2 kilometres of hidden tunnels in the arches of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

University of Technology Sydney (UTS) engineers and Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) have spent five years developing the robot, which has magnetic feet and can scale the complex passageways deemed too dangerous for human workers.

The robot applies a three-dimensional sensor to create a map of the dark tunnels, and then moves through the space — climbing up and down walls and through small passages. It sends back real-time information to engineers above who can use a camera to assess any damage.
