24.01.2022 People worry about robots taking their jobs. But unless Australia fully engages in global tech race, we will reap all the cost and none of the benefits of the digital age. The Australian governments current national plan is to invest $29.9 million in AI. Tianjin, a city in China of 16 million, recently announced a $22 billion AI investment. By head of population, were being outspent approximately 1000 to one.

20.01.2022 Watch our Universal Field Robots AutoPile product in action! This involves a UFR E35C robot paired with a Vermeer PD10 excavator piling machine running UFR Autonomy and working together to autonomously set out, handle and install steel piling for solar farm construction. This solution eliminates setting out, transport and manual handling, and separates people from hazardous activity and noise. UFR AutoPile is making solar power more affordable, while reducing construction hazards, and addressing labour shortages.

10.01.2022 COVID-19 has been a significant catalyst in making the promise of robotics a reality, primarily through its imposition of social-distancing. It has moved robotics further away from the nice-to-have category and put it on the path towards becoming a necessity. This is true both in the controlled settings of factories and warehouses, where robotics already has a foothold, and out in the wild in non-enclosed and public spaces.

10.01.2022 A McKinsey & Company survey has revealed that Australia experienced the lowest levels of disruption at its mining operations due to COVID-19. This is contrary to mining operations in the United States, Brazil and Chile, which are demonstrated to experience a moderate to high level of disruption triggered by the pandemic. Commodities such as gold, potash and diamond were also reported to experience just a low disruption, as opposed to iron ore, coal and construction materials ...with higher disruption.

05.01.2022 "In the mining industry, companies can face costly issues such as dilution of ore or inability to extract all ore, as originally anticipated. In addition to this, there are safety implications that can put personnel into harm's way." "Our collaborative project is providing an automated robotic solution to this challenge. This involves our automated robotic platform with a specially designed attachment that navigates within mines to clean and survey blastholes. This will provi...de data to the drill and blast engineers, who can then use this to optimise their blasting outcomes" - Universal Field Robots Project Engineer Hai Doan.
