These Malaysian companies are on the road to robotics
Early this year, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob announced that Malaysia is working on the National Robotics Roadmap (NRR) to boost national productivity by widening the use of robotics technology.
The objective, according to Ismail Sabri, is to lessen reliance on foreign labour and to minimise the flow of foreign cash.
According to a Bernama report, the government is targeting to increase robot usage from 55 units per 10,000 workers in 2019 to 195 per 10,000 workers by 2030 under the roadmap.
Additionally, a MyDigital Catalytic Projects Task Force will be established to identify and oversee feasible projects under a public- private partnership model.
However, a few Malaysian companies are ahead of the curve and have already jumped on the robotics bandwagon.
