The National Robotarium signs strategic agreement with Robotics Australia Group to accelerate robotics innovation

The National Robotarium entered into an international partner agreement with Robotics Australia Group (RAG), a non-profit national association that brings together companies, educational institutions, and public stakeholders to build a strong and sustainable interconnected robotics and autonomation ecosystem.

In a Letter of Intent signed by CEO of The National Robotarium, Stewart Miller and RAG CEO Nicci Rossouw in a virtual meeting on 2 December 2025, the two partners aim to develop joint initiatives and foster cooperation in areas including research and technology transfer, bilateral events and visits, and vocational and educational opportunities.

This marks The National Robotarium’s second major international collaboration in 2025, following a Memorandum of Understanding signed in June with Robotekin, the Basque Association for Robotics and Automation. Together, these partnerships reinforce the centre’s commitment to building a globally connected robotics ecosystem that supports innovation, aligns regulatory frameworks, and accelerates technological progress.

Stewart Miller said: “Partnering with Robotics Australia Group marks an important step in our mission to build a globally interconnected robotics ecosystem. By combining our strengths, we can accelerate innovation, support emerging talent, and ensure that advances in robotics benefit industry and society worldwide.

“This agreement brings us closer to realising our ambition of becoming a truly globally significant centre for robotics.”

Nicci Rossouw said: “We are delighted to formalise our partnership with The National Robotarium. Together, we can build powerful pathways for collaboration that elevate research, talent development and industry capability across both nations.

“This relationship strengthens our shared vision for a thriving, sustainable robotics ecosystem.”
