We’re excited to welcome Vaulta as the newest industry partner of the Australian Cobotics Centre!
Led by Founder and CEO Dominic Spooner, Vaulta is an Australian company redefining battery technology with lightweight, recyclable, and repairable battery casings – helping reduce waste and extend battery life.
The team at QUT (Queensland University of Technology)), led by Professor Jonathan Roberts, will work closely with Vaulta to explore how cobots might be used to support and scale their manufacturing processes.
This partnership also offers a fantastic opportunity for our PhD researchers to engage in real-world industry placements, applying their research to cutting-edge sustainable technology.
