Welcome to this special episode of @AuManufacturing Conversations with Brent Balinski, one which we're running as part of our quest to identify Australia’s 50 Most Innovative Manufacturers.
The 50 Most Innovative is an annual campaign by @AuManufacturing. This time around it has been made possible through the generous support of MYOB, CSIRO, the NSW government’s Advanced Manufacturing Research Facility, and the Commonwealth Bank.
In this episode we hear from Dr Heba Khamis, co-founder and CEO at sensor startup Contactile. She tells us about the company’s novel approach to making robots less clumsy, where they’ve seen the most interest from, the difficulties of finding the right silicone manufacturer, and more.
