The claim: Robotics will lead to mass unemployment. The reality: Productivity will grow, but not idle or leisure time.
Australia’s relatively small market size means it must rely more heavily on international markets to innovate.
In a world where robots work better than humans, how will we cope? We need to rethink our jobs-based economy.
Using a robotic video camera to digitally recreate a crime scene could give juries greater insight without the logistical nightmare and potential bias of a physical visit.
Seymour Papert’s vision has helped computers become widespread in education today, and gave birth to the movement to teach children to program.
A scenario analysis of the construction industry in 2036 paints an interesting picture for workers.
We drew inspiration from nature’s response to complexity to help program the winning team in this year’s RoboCup Simulation League.
Using a technique inspired by how human brains operate, researchers have found a way to help robots move more smoothly and more quickly.
To do the jobs “nuts-and-bolts” robots aren’t good at, engineers are creating soft living machines powered by muscle cells.
Robotics is taking some giant leaps forward.
Human resistance to innovation can be an obstacle to solving major global challenges.
Stroke patients need therapy to recover, but there are not enough human therapists to meet the need. Can robots help?
Computers must master football if they are to demonstrate that they can be our equal.
We are approaching the time when robots in our daily lives will be making decisions about how to act. What guidelines should we give them?

Robots should be designed so that even vulnerable users know that they are machines. But how do we create something engaging that is so obviously artificial?
Thousands of hip replacement operations are performed each year, but today is the first time in Australia that a robot will help with the surgery.
The future of warfare may include many lethal autonomous weapons, but the world can’t decide how, or if, to regulate them.
We need to ban lethal autonomous weapons, or “killer robots”, as we have done with biological weapons, land mines and blinding lasers, and Australia should take a leading role in making that happen.
