Imagine a world where disaster rescue robots can autonomously change their body size and shape to adapt to different terrains; where the manufactured chemicals previously distributed from centralised plants can be made as required and to precise chemical formulation (in accordance with real-time data collected by drones) in mobile manufacturing plants at point of use; or where previously wasted or lost food has re-entered the value chain as exciting, novel and in-demand food products…
Join us in February 2017 to learn about these scientific breakthroughs and more. Hear how the AIM Future Science Platform is undertaking the research that will see these futures become a reality, and how industry can benefit!
Bringing together materials, sensing, physical processing, informatics, robotics, and autonomous systems, the AIM FSP’s research will identify new science opportunities at the interfaces and address the challenges of a dramatically changing world as we head towards 2030.
The AIM conference will provide an opportunity to:
- learn about the disruptive and cutting edge research happening within AIM meet with the AIM Future Science project teams
- find out how to partner and get involved in AIM
- share research in the final day of the conference open to CSIRO and non-CSIRO participants
- create networks and seed collaborations with CSIRO scientists
- hear from influential guest speakers from the relevant industry and academic sectors
- participate in the international cafe conversations and panel discussions
- marvel at our interactive Techfest tradeshow
