THE AUSTRALIAN ROBOT MARKETPLACE A COMPREHENSIVE INDEPENDENT GUIDE TO ROBOTS IN AUSTRALIA Report from Michael Kassler and Associates (Consultants in Computing and Communications), 1984, 119 pp. (£230). The Australian Robot Marketplace comprises six sections, starting with an introduction to the increasing Australian industrial robot market, which, the report claims, has grown over the last decade from zero to over 500. The report follows its introduction with a section on market statistics, in which it states that there are approximately equal numbers of pick-and-place devices in Australia as full industrial robots. The report estimates that by the year 2000 there will be approximately 2200 industrial robots working in Australia. The next section of the report comprises a breakdown of Australias robot suppliers, providing contact names and addresses, together with the services which they provided. A list of robot distributors is also provided. This section if followed by information on each robot available in Australia. The robots correspond to models provided by 44 overseas manufacturing companies. The report ends with an analysis of market trends and Government incentives. The restricted readership of the report is reflected in the high price. Nevertheless, for those with a commercial interest in the development of the robotics market within Australia, the report could provide a useful overview. Peter B.
