This research will bring enormous benefits to Australian community by significantly reducing the environmental impact of civil infrastructure maintenance operations, and improving the working conditions of maintenance workers by minimising their exposure to dust containing hazardous materials. Bridges are a key link that supports rural communities. Besides the 426 steel road bridges in NSW, many hundreds steel road/rail bridges and other steel infrastructure in Australia need regular paint stripping and repainting. Australia will gain significant economic and health benefits from commercialising the advanced technologies developed by this project, and become a world leader in developing autonomous systems for infrastructure maintenance.

这项研究将显着减少民用基础设施维护作业对环境的影响，并通过最大限度地减少维护人员接触含有有害物质的粉尘来改善维护人员的工作条件，从而为澳大利亚社区带来巨大利益。桥梁是支持农村社区的关键环节。除了新南威尔士州的 426 座钢制公路桥梁外，澳大利亚还有数百座钢制公路/铁路桥梁和其他钢制基础设施需要定期脱漆和重新涂漆。澳大利亚将从该项目开发的先进技术的商业化中获得显着的经济和健康效益，并成为开发基础设施维护自主系统的世界领先者。
