1. Do you agree with the definitions in the discussion paper? If not, what definitions do you prefer?
No, please refer to the attached PPT slide with definitions and terms used in the Australian Robotics Roadmap. It includes current, past and future terms.
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?
We should have more development that is impactful for all Australians. There should be realistic and practical applications of robotics that can help reduce the workload or improve the quality of work that Australians are doing.
3. How should we measure the growth and success of robotics in Australia? What methodologies would ensure robust and reproducible evidence?
Should it be by number of robots to people. We should have more robots than people and make sure they are useful.
4. Is there anything else we should consider for a shared vision to capture Australia’s robotics opportunities?
Make sure that the robots are automated and not like computers that are reliant on human intervention or human design flaws.
5. What are Australia’s existing strengths in robotics and automation research, development and production? How can we build on these?
We have capacity to work on better outputs and working outcomes.
15. How can we ensure Australian workers benefit from the adoption of robotics and automation?
Make sure they are included in the process.
