The National Robotics Programme (NRP), set up to develop robotics technologies, would be applied to various industry verticals in addressing national challenges such as an ageing population. These capabilities will also support companies in business model transformations and servitisation. In addition, A*STAR Industrial Robotics Research Programme, which is a joint collaboration between A*STAR Research Institutes and local universities, aims to improve manufacturing productivity and develop next-generation robotics with enhanced capabilities for human-machine interaction and skill-based operations.
