The document summarizes the history and research of the Autonomous Systems Lab (ASL) at CSIRO. It discusses how ASL has automated heavy machinery in mining since the 1990s. It then outlines ASL's current research vision of enabling seamless collaboration between humans and autonomous systems. Key research areas discussed include persistent robotics, bespoke robotics, reality capture, reality display, pervasive sensing, and connected sensing. The document also discusses challenges around mixed traffic of humans and machines, and proposes solutions like global situational awareness and a common mine model. It positions ASL's robotics research within the context of emerging technologies like the industrial internet of things.

- 42. Managing the Technology Hype What makes money What people are interested in What we do research on
- 43. Absorptive Capacity The ability to recognize the value of new information: • Assimilation – Very poor collaboration between companies and research institutes • Transformation – Companies are not willing to change or understand • Exploitation – Changing business models
- 44. • Need to use common language • Project proposals • Companies like Waterfall • Researchers like Agile Communication
- 45. Other Issues • Geography • Not invented here – Remote workforce • Not sold here – Only look at ROI for local market • Culture • Collaborative – Open Innovation • Competitive – Closed Innovation • Licensing • Non-excusive • Exclusive • IP Ownership?
