The City of Timmins is partnering with Top Hat Robotics to add automated machines to help with its annual sidewalk maintenance inspection program. The automated machines will conduct the city's 180 kilometers of sidewalk inspections in 2 to 4 weeks; a job which normally takes a team of workers approximately 3 to 4 months to complete. The machines will be accompanied with a human chaperone who can answer any questions from curious residents.
