Information & Communication Technology

CSIRO is researching how to build and operate wireless and fibre networks of high speed and capacity, so that the demanding applications and services of tomorrow will operate smoothly.

CSIRO is conducting risk research that assists businesses and organisations in avoiding the avoidable and reducing the impact of the unavoidable.

CSIRO is developing systems that allow researchers access to vast stores of information, while ensuring the data is used legitimately and is safe from intrusion.

CSIRO researchers are developing better tools for information workers. These tools are intelligent, adaptable and allow specialised human knowledge and experience to be seamlessly combined with systematised knowledge.

We are developing robots and intelligent systems that will do difficult and complex jobs; and make their own decisions.

We are investigating new paradigms for human-computer interaction, computer-mediated communication and telepresense that broaden the range of collaborative activities that can be effectively and comfortably carried out over a distance.
