Robotics

Robotics and automation development and adoption will be crucial to building a Future Made in Australia. We will do this in a responsible way that will allow everyone to share in the full benefits of these technologies. 

These technologies can help our economy by:

• allowing Australian companies to scale and boost their productivity
• assisting in the rollout of our net zero economy
• addressing workforce shortages in sectors already under pressure.

The Australian Government identified robotics as a critical technology in the national interest.

Building Australia’s robotics future

The National Robotics Strategy is a framework to responsibly grow Australia’s robotics and automation ecosystem. It sets out goals for Australia around 4 themes that represent areas of focus for building Australia’s robotics and automation future: 

• national capability
• increasing adoption
• trust, inclusion and responsible development and use
• skills and diversity.
