Paul Mason is a mechatronics engineer, computer scientist and CEO of Robotics Australia Group, the peak body for Australia’s robotics and automation sector. He also co-hosts the Manufacturing Tech Australia podcast and has spent more than two decades helping businesses improve manufacturing, design, commercialisation and technology adoption. 

Paul explains why many businesses misunderstand robotics, from assuming it is unaffordable to treating it as a silver bullet for productivity. He and Ishan explore Australia’s low robot density, the importance of independent advice, and why broken processes should be fixed before technology is added. They also cover cobots, humanoid robots, AI, vibe coding, future skills, leadership, and why communication, problem-solving and people-first thinking matter more than ever.
