Research in practice

The translation of fundamental research into tangible outcomes and products benefits the wider community and sectors from trauma support and aged care to advanced manufacturing and security. This enables Australian industries to leverage state-of-the-art breakthroughs, providing organisations with platforms to explore otherwise unavailable solutions.  Deakin Applied Artificial Intelligence Initiative’s experience and skills uniquely position us to deliver cutting edge commercial solutions.
