The Australian Cobotics Centre was established in August 2021.  Our research is focused on the implementation of Collaborative Robotics (or cobotics) within Australian Manufacturing.  The aim is to create a safer, more efficient and globally competitive manufacturing industry.

Our objectives are to:

1. Improve the collaborative robotics capability within Australian manufacturing and,
2. Train researchers, engineers, technologists and manufacturing leaders with the skills and expertise needed to apply collaborative robotics technology

Our researchers and industry partners work together and as a result, end users are always at the forefront of our research.

The research programs address both the technological advances and the human and design factors that need to be considered when implementing new technology. This multi-disciplinary and multi-industry approach will result in improved safety, quality assurance, production efficiency, process innovation and workforce readiness across the industry.

Support and Funding

Funding for the Centre is via the Australian Government through the Australian Research Council’s Industrial Transformation Research Program and the industry and university partners.
