IssuesInsufficient
Research Fund
Insufficient Commercialisati
on Fund
Insufficient Technical
Manpower
R&D Costly Investment –
Insufficient cash flow to support R&D
Local market not ready for automation
Automation is very expensive investment
and looking at very short ROI
Insufficient facilities
Limited R&D
Research Fund to turn ideas to product – too many documentation for grant application
Knowledge and Capability Limitations
Talent Limitation
Know how and skill sets
Funding Insufficient research funds
Trust and demand from superior due
to high cost
Insufficient skilled discipline and integration for
automation system
IssuesLimited Budget on
Funding Less Research GrantPerception of public that products from overseas is
of higher qualityNeed more funding Robotics need advanced
facilities
Lack of Testing Equipment Lack of Testing Facilities Expensive components imported from overseas
Access to electronic components Test Equipments
Limited FundLack of commitment from
top university management
Funding Insufficient research fund Price of existing technology is expensive
Local industry doesn’t need high level of
automation products currently
Poor exposure on interest in robotics field
Unclear career path prevents creative
products produced by locals
Lack of recognition from international community Credibility
Government AssistanceMore development and
commercialization fundingFree consultation from
industry expert
Help SME or product developers to find investor to further grow potential
products
Encourage industry by providing financial support
(e.g: loan, grant)
Policy to include robotics in education and medical
field of rehabilitation
Pump more funding/money and make the process transparent
Ensure smoother process of procuring and purchase
More discussion with researchers
Options for researchers to open spin off while still
working with the government. Solid safety net for researchers cum
businessman
Heighten AwarenessMOSTI must do lots of
awareness started from primary school
Shared resources
Shared R&D facilities Funding to develop new technology/capability
Dedicated Flagship Program Funding X 2 Expertise Funding – Technofund
Funding via grant National Robotics Centre Website Robotics to share resources Inject in curriculum Have a Robotics Centre for
Reference
Put inside the curriculum cross all
discipline/program
Intensive awareness training/roadshow/compe
tition at primary/secondary/tertiar
y level
Government should allocate more funding in private sector not only in government/education
sectors
Shared Resources Enforcement (policies, etc) Funding Collaboration
Government AssistanceConsolidated Approach
Provide more funding. Do not slash original
budget that was submitted in the
application
Provide a conducive environment and
resources
Government should come up with policies
Involve multi universities in a research
Provide enough testing and development
facilities
Provide collaboration grant from government
and industry (joint venture)
Expose the industry and community with the advanced robotics
technology in solving daily tasks
More funding
More research grant to both local and
international students in this domain
Industry should partner with universities and
research centres to help with funding and
development
Establishment of research institute where
both local and international students
can actively participates
Government can contribute by becoming
clients of Malaysian robotics products
More research need to be applied and available
funding
Create a solid robotics platform
Consistent Monitoring Policy
Local Technology
Outdated Technology
Reliability Issues

On job training
Do you think Teaching Factory can fulfill the human capital needs and requirements?
Yes No
ReasonsCurrent Education System too many theory/non practicalStudents can learn more practical stuff and understand what really happen in real world from teaching factory
Will only work if trainers are qualified with strong industry exposuresStudents exposed to real robot programming rather than simulatorHands on/practical with industry standard platform can teach students many on the job skills needed from day 1. It also exposes them to real world problems

Do you think Malaysian Graduates fulfill the industry needs?
Yes No
ReasonsGraduates lack of practical skillsNeed more exposure in real industry (be more hands on)The most accurate answer is YES and NO. We do fulfill most of requirements needed for graduates to conduct their job at 90%. But fail 10% due to circumstances

Improving Human Capital for Robotics in MalaysiaLearn from other country’s education program in RoboticsOrganise more robotics competition at all levelsBetter interaction between university and industryThere should be universities dedicated to skill and training development using latest technologyGive incentives to companies to expand facilities using robotics and automation expand more opportunities in jobNetworking and face-face engagement can benefit most researchers working in the area. As such activities like conferences exhibition and competitions can improve human capital
