Perth to Lead the Robot Charge

Perth has become a global hub for robotics and automation with the official opening of the Australian Automation and Robotics Precinct (AARP).

Funded by a $28 million investment from the Western Australian government, the AARP is designed to accelerate innovation and drive economic growth. The state-of-the-art facility spans across a 51 hectare site situated 40km north of Perth CBD. The site provides dedicated space for research, development, and testing of cutting-edge robotics and automation technologies.
​

Key features of the AARP include:

• Co-working spaces: Ideal for collaborative work and idea sharing.
• Maker spaces: Encouraging hands-on experimentation and prototyping.
• Advanced laboratories: For testing and development of robotics solutions.
• Event spaces: Facilitating networking and knowledge exchange.

By fostering collaboration between industry, academia, and government, the AARP aims to position Western Australia as a global leader in robotics and automation. This initiative is expected to generate significant economic benefits and create new job opportunities in the region.
