On 17th June 2025, our Centre was part of the official opening of the Robotics and Advanced Manufacturing Centre (RAMC) at TAFE Queensland Eagle Farm campus. This 5-Star Green Star-rated facility was officially launched by The Honourable Ros Bates MP, Minister for Finance, Trade, Employment and Training and included Minister Tim Nicholls MP and a talk from ARM Hub‘s Technical Lead, Dr Troy Cordie

As part of the opening, TAFE opened their doors for an Industry Open Day. Centre Director Prof Jonathan Roberts, Centre Manager Merryn Ballantyne, and PhD researcher Jacqueline Greentree spoke with over 150 attendees about our exciting initiatives and upcoming events.

The Open Day also included stands and demonstrations from Mynt Energy Tech, ARM Hub, Aptella, Infinispark, and HFS Design (formerly Micromelon Engineering) providing a showcase of Queensland’s collaborative innovation ecosystem.

Thank you to TAFE Queensland for inviting us to be part of the event and to Benaiah Fenby and team for organising such a wonderful day. The new TAFE Centre is a fantastic step forward in preparing Queensland’s workforce for the future of work in emerging and sustainable industries. And, as one of our Centre’s industry partners, we look forward to continuing to work together to ensure manufacturers are equipped for the next generation of advanced manufacturing.
