We are an incorporated, not-for-profit organisation set-up to create a sustainable and internationally-competitive robotics industry here in Australia.
We are committed to building a sustainable robotics industry in Australia by supporting the entire robotics ecosystem, from the companies building robots to those researching and developing new technologies, robotics educators and enthusiasts, and the companies looking to adopt robots and robotics-related technologies.
RAG vs RAN
What's the difference?
You may have heard our organisation referred to as both the Robotics Australia Group and the Robotics Australia Network - so, why the need for two names?
In short, the Robotics Australia Group is the umbrella term we use to refer to our organisation and our registered governance structure. The Robotics Australia Network relates to the organisations and individuals who contribute through becoming members or corporate sponsors.
To establish Australia as a global leader in the uptake and supply of trustworthy robotics products and services by 2030.
Growth
1. Substantially increase and grow Australian-based high growth robotics companies by addressing funding gaps and supporting export development.
2. Incentivise collaboration to encourage large companies and government agencies to partner, invest in, and nurture Australian robotics companies as they scale and develop fit-for-purpose solutions.
Talent
5. Grow robotics talent base in line with Government targets by increasing university and TAFE graduates, diversifying pathways into robotics, supporting work placements and expanding community literacy of robotics.
6. Collaborate with others to address workforce challenges (skills, talent, attraction and retention).
Cohesion
3. Develop clusters to form the building blocks of a sustainable robotics industry by supporting collaboration, knowledge transfer and entrepreneurial culture.
4. Build better linkages with Australia's strong research base and help bridge the commercialisation gap.
Trust
7. Ensure ethical robotics solutions meet public expectations, improve Australia's well-being and are consistent with our democratic values.
