1. Do you agree with the definitions in the discussion paper? If not, what definitions do you prefer?
Yes but it could improve with mention of machine learning robotics
2. What is your vision for the future of robotics and automation in Australia? Are there any sectors or types of robotics that hold particular opportunities for our nation?
AI robotics as a core study in the Australian Mathematics or Science Education Curriculum. Humanoid robotics and educational AI contruction robotics kits made and sold in Australia at lower prices than international markets. Greater access to less harmful robotics in Medical Healthcare. Expansion of robotics to develop more advanced human parts to help mobilise the elderly.
3. How should we measure the growth and success of robotics in Australia? What methodologies would ensure robust and reproducible evidence?
Education, prices of robots made in Australia, use of AI at machine learning level. Greater focus on AI robotics education industry. Lego mindstorms is outdated and overly priced.
4. Is there anything else we should consider for a shared vision to capture Australia’s robotics opportunities?
Include education, AI robotics and produce more robots and robotics parts in Australia. Focus on increased automation should be matched with invention of new designer and creative Jobs produced to replace Job loss for ecample: in development of medical robotics to help Australians move easier and live longer, that's what matters in the end.
5. What are Australia’s existing strengths in robotics and automation research, development and production? How can we build on these?
The many industries addressed even though education is not mentioned.
6. In what related areas could Australia develop world-leading expertise?
AI, AI education, AI medical robotics to assist people with moving and replacing non functioning organs so all humans can live longer, something better than an ECMO or electric heart and lung pump.
7. How can Australia improve its investment environment and access to capital to support Australian robotics companies?
Focus on my goals I mentioned above.
8. How can Australia improve its robotics supply chain?
Work closer with China to start with, I can help here. Then copy by manufacturing the same parts and similar kits.
9. How can we make it easier to commercialise Australian research and development?
Through education at secondary school level and Univeristy Teacher degrees.
10. How can we encourage more collaboration between industry and research?
As above.
11. What are the barriers and enablers to international cooperation and exporting Australian robotics and automation technologies?
We don't make nor stock nor sell AI robotics at Machine learning level in Australia, not at international standards.
12. What do you think are the impacts and opportunities of robotics and automation in Australia?
Improved and lengthened lives of Australians. Children having the right to have a say over their preferred AI futures. People doing jobs they prefer rather than meaningless repetitive jobs. Life extension through development of advanced medical robotics.
13. What would increase trust and approval of robotics and automation?
Creation of Jobs to substitute those lost and back this up with free education and training to help transitions.
14. How can Australia ensure robotics and automation are developed and adopted lawfully, responsibly and in a way that improves the lives of Australians?
Through universities and research which must follow ethical guidelines, teacger education courses and education in secondary schools.
15. How can we ensure Australian workers benefit from the adoption of robotics and automation?
Medical robotics and respect to privacy. Full disclosure and television shows about projects.
16. What are the existing strengths in the skills and capabilities of Australia’s robotics and automation workforce? Are there existing or expected gaps that need to be addressed?
Gaps in education and research and manufacturing.
17. What are the barriers to training, attracting and retaining skilled and qualified workers to produce and adopt robotics and automation in Australia? How can these be addressed?
Resources aren't here and accessible in Australia and they are very expensive. Robotic AI arms commonly cost $14,000 and now dated humanoid robots cost circa $25,000
18. How can Australia improve the diversity of its robotics and automation workforce and better include under-represented groups?
Education in schools and universities, television shows, media. Grants to businesses who take up training and robotics tools to improve practice.
19. How can we help workers transition and develop the skills they need to work alongside robotics?
As above.
20. How are businesses and governments adopting robotics technology in Australia? Do they use Australian-made products?
No, they're mainly from China.
21. Which Australian industry sectors would benefit the most from more robotics and automation? Why?
Education and Medicine, Humanity.
22. What are the barriers to increased adoption of robotics and automation? How can we address these barriers?
Costs, the fact education isn't included as an industry requiring AI robotics attention and development.
23. How do current regulations and standards help or limit the adoption of robotics? How could we improve these?
There are laws against importing particular batteries required for use in AI Robots. There are importing limitations for individuals also. We need to make more advanced AI robotics here and stock parts for all industries including education.
