   My guest today is Paul Mason! (Episode 190)

   In this episode of Let’s Talk Robotics, I am joined by Paul Mason, incoming CEO of Robotics Australia Group. Paul works at the intersection of industry, research, and government, focused on building the ecosystem that enables Australia to develop genuine sovereign capability in robotics and advanced manufacturing. With over 25 years of experience across design, manufacturing, and commercialisation, he helps businesses bridge the gap between concept and scalable operation—whether through lean practices, automation, robotics, AI, or strengthening core operational foundations. He is also co-host of the Manufacturing Tech Australia podcast, where he shares real conversations with manufacturers, technologists, and industry leaders about what is actually working in the field. Listen now to the full conversation.

   My guest today is Kelsey Treloar! (Episode 189)

   My guest today on Let’s Talk Robotics, is Kelsey Treloar. Kelsey is the Co-Founder and Director of Innovation at Southern Ocean Subsea, where he leads the development of advanced subsea robotics and engineered solutions for marine, aquaculture, and subsea infrastructure applications. As a driving force behind the company, Kelsey has helped shape its vision and establish its position within Australia’s rapidly growing blue-tech sector. He leads technical innovation and engineering excellence, spearheading the design of cutting-edge remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and subsea systems built to solve real-world challenges in demanding underwater environments. With a strong foundation in offshore oil and gas and aquaculture, Kelsey brings a practical, solutions-focused approach to subsea engineering. His work centres on developing custom robotics and tooling that enhance operational efficiency, improve safety, and support more sustainable practices across ocean industries. Among his notable contributions is the Apama ROV platform, designed to deliver safer, smarter, and more efficient underwater inspection and maintenance operations. Under his leadership, Southern Ocean Subsea has earned recognition for innovation and impact in the marine technology space, with Kelsey also named among Tasmania’s Top 20 Young Entrepreneurs for his role in advancing subsea robotics and ocean innovation.

[…] That's pretty obvious. It sits in a particular location and it's stationary. It does not move and it does its job. Then there are what we call AGVs, which are robots that can move, but they may move on prescribed paths down a rail, down a track, down a particular route within an environment internally or externally. Then there are the AMRs, autonomous mobile robots. It just allows a mobile robot to be more autonomous, to make decisions for itself in how it's going to navigate its environment. But one of the really interesting categories is the category of collaborative robots or cobots, as they're often called. […]
