Six Degrees of Robotics’ Post

Singapore is investing $60 million in its National Robotics Programme (NRP) to boost robotics development in manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare. Funded by the National Research Foundation (NRF) and hosted by the Agency for Science, Technology and Research, the NRP aims to capitalize on the growing global robotics market. The investment supports the RoboCluster initiative, focusing initially on cleaning building exteriors. The program aims to foster collaboration between the NRP and industries, with plans to expand into healthcare and logistics. The initiative aims to translate research into practical applications, addressing concerns over manpower shortages and mundane tasks in sectors like facilities management. With over $450 million already invested by the NRF, recent projects include rodent-scanning robots and drones for cleaning large structures like Gardens by the Bay's Supertrees.
