Curtin University and Greenroom Robotics have formed a strategic partnership
Curtin University has formed a strategic partnership with Greenroom Robotics, an Australian maritime autonomy company, to advance the nation's capabilities in autonomous systems, AI, and innovation
The partnership will establish the necessary framework to see Australia become a more prominent figure in developing and implementing new technologies, including strengthening workforce skills, advancing research and development projects, and building strategic industry partnerships across sectors such as space, energy, mining, agriculture, and maritime.
Greenroom Robotics specialises in maritime autonomy and situational awareness software, with its AI software already transforming vessels with partners across AUKUS nations, including Austal, the Royal Australian Navy, EGS Survey, and UK-based SubSea Craft, and has successfully been trialled by the US Department of Defence.
Gary Hale, director of Curtin's National Resilience and Security Program Office, said, “Curtin University has long connected industry and government with world-leading research to make a difference. By combining Curtin’s leading research expertise with Greenroom’s advanced robotics and autonomy capabilities, this partnership aims to deliver best-in-class solutions to enhance Australia’s resilience and support national priorities."
Hale added, “This collaboration will help build a highly skilled talent pipeline, accelerate the adoption of next-generation autonomous systems and deliver innovation that strengthens Australia as a nation.”
Harry Hubbert, COO and co-founder of Greenroom Robotics, said, “We are thrilled to contribute our expertise in cutting-edge maritime AI and autonomy software to Curtin University’s collaborative ecosystem. Our proven software solutions are already transforming maritime autonomy, and we are excited to access a broader partner base and make a real difference to safe, clean and protected oceans.”
