A new report predicts that the uptake of robotics in Queensland could boost the state’s economic growth by up to 2% each year for the next decade

The report also identifies that embracing automation could provide anywhere between 492,950 and 1.165 million jobs by 2028.

The report prepared partly by QUT finds that the potential benefits from robotics and automation, particularly for productivity improvements and new jobs, will be “substantial” for the state.
