Overview

This project will involve case studies of barriers to cobot adoption that our partners have experienced, enablers of cobot design and readiness, partner challenges, and the impact of the Australian Cobotics Centre in terms of knowledge transfer and collaboration.

Data collection (observations and interviews during industry calibration meetings in April 2025) will take place at partner sites with follow-up interviews (if required) to be conducted either in person or via videoconference.

This research will contribute to the broader goals of the Australian Cobotics Centre, providing:

• A comprehensive understanding of challenges in cobot adoption.
• Practical recommendations for businesses considering cobot integration.

Enhanced collaboration between researchers and industry partners
