  • Summary

  • In this episode, we sit down with robotics powerhouse Sue Keay - Chair of the Robotics Australia Board, Director of UNSW's AI Institute, and a long-time champion of Australia’s robotics and AI industries.

    We dig into the reality behind Australia’s slip in global robotics density rankings - and why that might be painting the wrong picture. From mining to logistics, agtech to space, Sue shares where Australia is quietly excelling and where the next wave of innovation is set to emerge.

    The conversation spans:

    • Why Australia’s strength in field robotics could shape the global future of automation

    • How AI is breaking down barriers to robotics adoption for SMEs

    • The real impact of automation on jobs - and how to navigate it

    • The urgent need for a national AI strategy and infrastructure plan

    • Practical steps for businesses to kickstart their automation journey (hint: it starts with a whiteboard, not a robot)

    Whether you're deep in industry or just automation-curious, Sue brings clarity, insight, and optimism to a space that's moving fast.
