Australia launches 1st National Robotics Strategy

STORY: Australia launches 1st National Robotics Strategy SHOOTING TIME: Archives DATELINE: May 29, 2024 LENGTH: 00:02:11 LOCATION: Canberra CATEGORY: TECHNOLOGY SHOTLIST: 1. various of robots STORYLINE: The Australian government has launched its first National Robotics Strategy in a bid to maximize benefits from the technology. Ed Husic, minister for industry and science, unveiled the strategy on Tuesday, saying it would help Australia secure its future and seize opportunities. According to the strategy, robotics and automation technologies could add up to 600 billion Australian dollars (400.3 billion U.S. dollars) to Australia's annual gross domestic product (GDP) by 2030. It found that increasing the use of robotics by only 1 percent would increase Australia's productivity by 0.8 percent by automating high-value manufacturing and enabling production at scale. Husic said in a statement that Australia currently ranks 32nd in the world in the adoption of industrial robots. "Lifting the adoption of thes

Led by his supervisor, Zhang Zhengtao, a graduate from the Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CASIA), joined the research of a large scientific device in 2010. Zhang was the first to apply artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm and precision optical imaging system to a device of its kind. He has made a number of technological breakthroughs in automated optical inspection (AOI) technologies since then. In 2016, he spearheaded in the incorporation of CASI Vision, which applies AOI technologies to non-destructive automatic inspection of standardized industrial products. To date, Zhang still serves as a researcher and doctoral supervisor at CASIA. As a scientist and an entrepreneur, he encourages his students to do practical research by focusing research funds at key issues, and addressing pain points with actual demand from the market.
