13. Motivation
Productivity isn’t everything, but in the long run it is almost everything
Paul Krugman, 1991
Professor Princeton University,
Nobel Prize in Economics 2008
The digital economy is the global network of economic and social
activities that are enabled by platforms such as the internet, mobile
and sensor networks.
Australia's Digital Economy: Future Directions.
14. Threat posed by Australia’s declining productivity
Productivity is the prime determinant in the long run of a nation’s
standard of living, for it is the root cause of per capita national income
Michael Porter, 1991, The Competitive Advantage of Nations
According to the Grattan Institute report Australia’s Productivity Challenge, Australia’s economic
prospects beyond the end of the current ‘resources boom’ will deteriorate significantly (as they did in the
1970s and 1980s) if the decline in our productivity growth performance is not reversed.

97. Problem 1: The Mixed Traffic Problem
• 20 years ago automation
was driven by safety
• Lead to the automation of
specialized vehicles
• Equal performance of a human driver
• Forced to isolate the machines
• This impacted the existing workflow
(Maintenance, exploration)
Increase Safety Change in Workflow Loss in Productivity
98. Solution 1: Global Situational Awareness
1. Technology that allows humans and robots
to interact safety and productively
2. To do this we need to provide fail-safe
people detection
3. No such technology exists
4. Put intelligence into the environment
rather than the machine
5. Detect absence rather than presence
6. Autonomous safety.
99. Problem 2: Interoperability
• 10 years ago, investment was driven by
labor force availability and productivity
• We were able to automate a rock-breaker,
but it does not exceed the performance of
the human operator
• Productivity gains can only be realized if
we integrate the upstream and
downstream processes
