Industry groups and startup innovators have welcomed the launch of a National Robotics Strategy, creating a partnership to turbocharge the technology in Australia. Federal Minister for Industry and Science, Ed Husic MP, said, “robotics and automation are critical to building a Future Made in Australia”. “Lifting the adoption of these technologies will allow our manufacturers to produce higher quality products in less time and make them more internationally competitive.” Australian Industry Group (Ai Group), Robotics Australia Group and startup incubator Cicada Innovations are partnering together to form the Robotics Growth Partnership in the wake of this new strategy. Robotics Australia Group CEO 🇦🇺 Nicci Rossouw said this new national strategy provides the impetus for the sector to grow and meet Australia’s growing needs: “With the release of Australia’s first National Robotics Strategy, it’s the right time for our robotics ecosystem to grow through this partnership that offers end-to-end support for robotics innovation and adoption." #manufacturing #australianmanufacturing #auspol #robotics #automation

Imagine a world where factories can switch production lines with a single click producing entirely new products effortlessly. This vision is becoming a reality, thanks to CynLr's recent $10 million fundraising milestone. The founder's Gokul N A & Nikhil Ramaswamy and I worked together at National Instruments, it's inspiring to see how Gokul & Nikhil have channeled their expertise into pioneering advancements in robotics. CynLr's vision of 'Universal Factories' where a single production line can adapt to manufacture entirely new products at the click of a button is truly transformative. Their approach addresses the significant costs and time associated with customizing factory environments for automation, which currently accounts for 70% of robot automation expenses and can take 15-24 months to implement. By developing adaptable robots capable of handling diverse tasks and objects without the need for customization, CynLr is poised to revolutionize manufacturing processes. Wishing Gokul & Nikhil and the entire CynLr team continued success as they lead the charge in transforming robotics and manufacturing. #robotics
