International Women in Robotics Day: Celebrating HERstory in Robotics Today, the 2nd of October, we proudly join the global celebration of International Women in Robotics Day! This day is a significant opportunity to support organizations like Women in Robotics (WiR), which is dedicated to highlighting the invaluable contributions of women in the robotics field. As stated by Andra Keay, President of Women in Robotics, "Robotics history is still HIS story. Women in Robotics is working hard to include HER story in the future of robotics." WiR began as a small network and has grown into a vital force advocating for women’s visibility, equity, and opportunities in robotics. Despite progress, women remain underrepresented in the robotics workforce, facing barriers such as pay inequality and limited promotion opportunities. WiR is actively addressing these issues by providing scholarships, creating local chapters worldwide, and launching initiatives like the Inclusive Employer Index Survey to improve diversity and inclusion in our industry. Let's amplify the voices of women in robotics and celebrate their achievements! We invite you to reflect on the inspiring women who have paved the way and to consider how we can continue to support and uplift the next generation of female leaders in technology. Join us in celebrating HERstory and advocating for a more inclusive future in robotics! Tag a woman working in robotics in Australia to celebrate the wonderful talent we have here! Follow us for regular updates about the robotics industry and community in Australia - thanks for your support! #robotics #innovation #automation #supportroboticsinaustralia

Diversity in STEM is at the heart of innovation!

What a brilliant intiative to celebrate women in the world of robotics! Do you know someone that deserves the recognition? Please see below how to nominate them below -> #womeninrobotics #ifr #equalityforall

🌟 Happy International Women's Day! 🌟 Today, we're celebrating the incredible women in the robotic industry who are shaping the future of technology. 💪🤖 We're thrilled to introduce you to our very own Franziska Herrmann. She is of course super-passionate about robotics, and Lead Business Development at RobCo! Join us as we ask her three inspiring questions about her journey, challenges, and aspirations in this dynamic field! 💼🚀 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐮𝐬 𝐚 𝐛𝐢𝐭 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐣𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐥𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬? Of course! I've always been fascinated by technology and its potential to solve complex problems. I found my passion for robotics when I started working with RobCo. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐰𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐢𝐭? One of the biggest challenges is the gender imbalance in the field, especially in leadership roles. It's essential to create more opportunities for women to enter and advance in robotics careers through mentorship programs, networking events, and initiatives to foster diversity and inclusion. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐮𝐞 𝐚 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐧 𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬? My advice would be to believe in yourself and your abilities. Don't be afraid to pursue your passion for technology, even if it seems like a male-dominated field. Seek out mentors, build your skills through hands-on projects, and never stop learning. Your unique perspective and contributions are invaluable to the future of robotics. #InternationalWomensDay #WomenInTech #RoboticsRevolution
