Data61 Robotics team has six papers accepted at international conference

Australia is fast becoming a leader in international robotics innovation, with a team from CSIRO’s Data61 having six papers accepted at this year’s International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA). Represented by Robotics and Autonomous Systems Group Leader Fred Pauling and Cyber Physical Systems Research Director Dr. Sue Keay, the studies detail a variety of...

Programming Australia to lead robotics globally

The robotics and autonomous systems sector is growing rapidly, and is set to be worth $23 billion by 2025. From self-driving cars and IoT-connected cities to autonomous drones creating 3D maps of underground mines, there’s no denying we’re in the midst of the fourth industrial revolution — the intersection of the physical and digital worlds.

Fiction, reality and robot commonsense – A Q&A with Professor Ronald Arkin on his D61+ Live talk

"Robots are here and they will have a greater and greater impact on society. We need to discuss the manifold ethical questions they pose to society. Technological advances are outpacing our ability to regulate and legislate. Everyone is a stakeholder in this discussion so my hope is that more people will get engaged. It’s our future we’re talking about"

Lasers, legs and lidar: how robots are learning to see and move

Machines are blind when they’re born – we create them with only enough sensory capacity to do what they need to do. Your blender, for instance, can’t sense touch. Your washing machine (probably) can’t see, and your GoPro can’t sense heat.
