This session explores how construction companies and robotics developers can forge powerful partnerships to drive innovation and accelerate the adoption of cutting-edge technologies in the industry. Featuring panellists from the Australian Robotics Construction Forum (ARCF) this discussion will delve into strategies for overcoming common challenges, fostering open communication, and creating mutually beneficial relationships that push the boundaries of what's possible in construction robotics.

Key discussion points:

• Bridging the knowledge gap: Strategies for construction professionals to effectively communicate their needs and challenges to robotics developers, and for developers to gain a deeper understanding of the construction industry's unique requirements.
• Co-creation and iterative development: How construction companies and robotics developers can work together to design, test, and refine solutions that address real-world challenges and deliver tangible benefits.
• Balancing innovation and pragmatism: Approaches for identifying and prioritising high impact use cases that align with both the capabilities of robotics technologies and the immediate needs of construction projects.
• Scaling up and futureproofing: Considerations for deploying robotics solutions across multiple projects and ensuring they can adapt to evolving industry demands and technological advancements.
