Dr Sue Keay may love robotics, but there's nothing mechanical about her trailblazing vision for Australia's technology future. Not only did she set up the world's first robotic vision research centre, she is a graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors, and judges the James Dyson Awards and the Australian Museum Prizes. At present, she leads the Commonwealth Scientific and Industry Research Organization's (CSIRO) Data61 Cyber-Physical Systems program. We recently spoke with Dr Keay about CSIRO, blending science and business, and where the future may lead. "CSIRO, Australia's national science research agency has been in existence for over 100 years," she told VENTURE.
