The Australian Robotics Network are leading a series of workshops, being held across the country to progress the second edition of the Robotics Roadmap for Australia covering areas of national significance to Australia; resources, manufacturing, healthcare, services, defence, infrastructure, agriculture/environment, space and transport/mobility. This webinar lay the foundations of a trust and safety robotics network of researchers, assurance industries, government and organisations in Australia.
Until the first edition of the robotics roadmap, little was known about Australia’s robotics industries. As robotics and related technologies mature, it is critical to understand and plan for the impact, challenges and the benefits they pose to our nation.
Participants were invited to contribute to the second edition of the roadmap looking at Trust and Safety aspects of robotics and related technologies in Australia. The chapter on Trust & Safety aims not to write policy on trust and safety, but instead to connect the Australian Robotics Network with the ecosystem of work on robotic assurance in Australia, including research programs, assurance industries (e.g. accreditation, test and evaluation, testing range operators), government (e.g. regulators, policy-writers), makers and users of robotics technologies (e.g. drone manufacturers) and the Australian people.
Topics discussed include: existing safety and trust frameworks in Australia System Safety, faster regulation, ethical practice with machines, systems design, cognitive robotics and assuring autonomy, and the future of trust and safety.
