Army Robotics expo 2023
Hosted by the Robotic and Autonomous Systems Implementation & Coordination Office (RICO), Army’s Robotic Expo (ARX) invites sovereign Australian Industry and academia to showcase cutting-edge robotic and autonomous technologies with potential for the Joint land force.
Across all industries, the exploration and uptake of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robotic and autonomous systems (RAS) technologies is accelerating. ARX represents an opportunity to explore the convergence of multidisciplinary technologies and break the barriers of civil and military, private and public spheres in pursuit of sovereign innovation.
Across all industries, the exploration and uptake of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robotic and autonomous systems (RAS) technologies is accelerating. ARX represents an opportunity to explore the convergence of multidisciplinary technologies and break the barriers of civil and military, private and public spheres in pursuit of sovereign innovation.
The realisation of RAS will be underpinned by emerging technologies including AI, quantum technologies, power and energy efficiency (both battery technology and hybrid), and building trust in autonomous systems, both physical and cyber. In embracing these technologies, Defence will fundamentally alter the way it trains and fights. Cultivating Australia’s growing Defence Industry and identifying new applications of dual-use technology developed in civil sectors is critical to this transformation.
ARX 2023 Challenge Statement
ARX 2023 is showcasing Australian sovereign RAS technology and its potential benefit to one or more of the five capability offsets identified in the Army RAS Strategy:
- Maximising Soldier Performance; lightening the load physically and cognitively
- Improving Decision Making; AI, data analytics and networks to make better sense of and understand the situation in conflict
- Generating Mass and Scalable Effects; human-machine teaming, swarming technologies and optionally crewed platforms
- Force Protection; removing soldiers from some of the most dangerous battlefield tasks including Counter Improvised Explosive Device and Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Environment tasks
- Efficiency; improving logistics, maintenance and medical effects utilising AI, data analytics, autonomy and leader-follower technologies.
