MEDIA RELEASE
Robotics Australia Group encourages robotics sector to complete new Government survey Australia’s peak body for the robotics industry, Robotics Australia Group (RAG) has encouraged creators of robotics and robotics-related technology to complete the Australian Government’s new survey of Australia’s Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Systems Capability. Stemming from the National Meeting of Digital Economy and Technology Ministers in May, the survey will inform the development of a national Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Autonomous Systems Capability Map. Once completed, the Map will be provided to Australia’s digital economy and technology Ministers and agencies to highlight areas of strength and expertise to drive greater collaboration domestically and inform the promotion of Australia as a key location for research, development and commercialisation.
Australia’s 2018 Robotics Roadmap was a first attempt to define Australia’s capability in robotics and related technologies, quantifying its value in terms of revenue and jobs. Launched at Parliament House in Canberra by the Australian Centre for Robotic Vision, the roadmap demonstrated how robotics and related technologies can influence every sector of the Australian economy. Robotics Australia Group are now creating an updated edition of the roadmap, to raise the profile of robotics in Australia, to identify the challenges and opportunities available for robotics in this country and to highlight our accomplishments in the creation and application of robotics technologies. The aim of the roadmap is to create an ecosystem that supports the robotics talent and technology we develop to remain here in Australia and build global capability.
We need your support to make this happen. For a limited time we are offering a unique opportunity for you to showcase your leadership in robotics by sponsoring the roadmap.

COVID 19, Robots and us.
Silicon Valley Robotics is home to the world’s most innovative robots and robot research. We have more than 50 research labs and almost 50% of the global robotics startup funding happens here. Plus my office is here at Circuit Launch, a hardware cowork space or accelerator. Plus we have great visitors from overseas. So now that I’m not organizing as many events, I’m going to get more videos online here on our new YouTube channel.
