We have great news! We will offer a new science curriculum for advanced students. If your child is not an advanced student yet, it will be from their third year of studying Robotics. The way it works is this: if they started this year, let’s say in 2019, they would become intermediate students from next year […]
Recently, Brisbane, Australia was the host of the 34th edition of the International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), the world’s most important Robotics event organised by IEEE. Our staff attended the Education Forum and enjoyed the chance to network with teachers and suppliers from all over the world. […]
How can Australia seize a $2 trillion opportunity from automation and create millions of safer, more meaningful and more valuable jobs? Machines will unburden the average Australian of 2 hours of the most tedious and manual work a week over the next 15 years. Our jobs will become safer, more satisfying and more valuable. More […]
The robots are more precise and consistent than human workers. The machines also allow for increased production and profit margin because they can complete tasks faster. Robots can work 24 hours since they do not require vacations, sick days, or breaks. They also make fewer mistakes than humans, saving companies time. In the medical field, […]
In 2015, the Committee for Economic Development of Australia (CEDA) reported that automation could replace an estimated 40 percent of Australia’s workforce within the next 20 years. That’s approximately five million jobs that could be replaced by robots. “Australia must embrace AI revolution with automation set to affect every job”, a report quoted by ABC says. […]

Despite Australia “punching above its weight” in artificial intelligence (AI) research, the country is failing to embrace the technology in the business sector Within the next five to 10 years, Professor Toby Walsh envisions Australian businesses to be using autonomous cars, buses, trucks, and robot advisors. “In research terms, I think we punch above our […]
The history of robots has its origins in the ancient world. Concepts akin to a robot can be found as long ago as the 4th century BC when the Greek mathematician Archytas of Tarentum postulated a mechanical bird he called “The Pigeon”, which was propelled by steam. One of the first recorded designs of a […]
Robots could reduce nearly one in three construction jobs over the next 20 years, experts predict. Mace, an international consultancy and building company, claimed that technological advances would mean human builders are replaced by machines. It said 600,000 of the current 2.2 million positions across the industry in the UK could be automated by 2040. […]
What does academy means and where does it come from? The ancient Greek historian Plutarch wrote that the Athenian king Theseus (the slayer of the Minotaur) abducted the beautiful 12-year-old Helen of Troy (long before she married Menelaus, met Paris and was the cause of the Trojan War).
