We are sad to announce the departure of two of our Program co-Leads from Swinburne University of Technology.

• Professor XiaoQi Chen is moving to South China University of Technology where he will be the new Dean of the School of Intelligent Engineering.
• Professor Sally McArthur is moving to Deakin University where she will be Director of the Institute for Frontier Materials (IFM).

Thank you XiaoQi and Sally for your input and support in shaping the Centre so far. We wish you the best in your new roles.

In their places, we welcome Dr Michelle Dunn, Dr John McCormick and Assoc Prof Chris McCarthy to the Australian Cobotics Centre.

Dr Michelle Dunn will take over the co-leadership of program 4 with Dr Lee Clemon from UTS and Assoc Prof Mats Isaksson will become co-lead of Program 1 with Prof Teresa Vidal-Calleja from UTS.
