The Australian Automation and Robotics Precinct (AARP) and the Indo-Pacific Robotics, Autonomy, AI and Cyber Conference (IPRAAC) 2025 have announced a strategic partnership, as official Industry Knowledge Partners.
AARP and IPRAAC will collaborate on the curation of technical content, site tour activations, and demonstrations that reflect real-world developments happening across AARP’s nationally significant test environment. This partnership will also support the broader robotics and AI ecosystem through joint efforts to elevate the work of startups, research institutions and government initiatives.
Renu Kannu, National Robotics and Innovation Lead at the ARRP, welcomed the partnership as a timely step forward for the sector. “We’re excited to be working with IPRAAC to bridge the gap between innovation in the field and the global conversations taking place around robotics and autonomy,” said Ms Kannu. “The AARP is a platform for testing, learning, and scaling, and this partnership brings that energy directly to the conferences delegates.”
IPRAAC Committee Chair, David Matrai, said the collaboration would bring tremendous value to delegates and exhibitors. “AARP is at the frontier of applied robotics innovation in Australia. Renu and her team deliver future-focused events that speak directly to what’s happening on the ground,” said Matrai.
This partnership reflects a broader mission to position Western Australia and the Indo-Pacific more broadly, as a global leader in robotics, autonomy and advanced systems integration.
IPRAAC 2025 will take place from 7-8 October 2025 in Perth, Western Australia. Get your ticket today: https://indopacificroboticsconference.com/.
