Objectives:
1. To assess opportunities for the introduction of robots and
manipulators into the building and construction sector over the
next decade.
2. To assess whether or not Australia should be involved in research
and development for such devices. Collaboration with overseas
developers?
3. To assess if Australia has any unique applications which could
ultimately lead to export opportunities.
