The ICT Centre is CSIRO's national research hub for developing innovative information and communication technologies. These technologies are applied to Australia across the breadth CSIRO’s engagement with industry and society.
In an ultra-modern take on a St Bernard bringing brandy to stranded skiers, tomorrow pilotless aircraft will drop water to someone ‘lost’ in the outback.
CSIRO scientists with the Minerals Down Under National Research Flagship are working closely with industry and government to develop vastly improved navigation technology for remote areas.
CSIRO and the Department of Climate Change have developed remote sensing tools and technologies that allow Australia to accurately measure land cover change since 1972.
The Climate Adaptation Flagship's planning, design, infrastructure, management and governance solutions are helping revitalise Australia’s cities and coasts in response to a changing climate.
With the development of advanced artificial intelligence technology, CSIRO scientists are taking automated systems process to a new level of capability.
Wearable intelligent textiles, incorporating electronic circuitry and sensors, are well suited to become the basis of the next generation of control systems for many applications of mobile computing, allowing complete freedom of movement.
The Water Research Observation Network (WRON) Visualisation Centre provides an environment for the investigation and development of visualisation tools and interfaces that display information in an engaging and easily understood manner as shown in this video. (2:27)
This video interviews Dr Richard Helmer about CSIRO's wearable instrument shirt guitar, which works by recognising and interpreting arm movements and relaying this wirelessly to a computer for audio generation, and then shows him demonstrating the shirt with a backing track. (1:00)
Dr Peter Corke is CSIRO’s expert on robots and intelligent systems, helping to design devices and systems that perform tasks humans do not want to do, or are unable to do.
Meet Dr Darius Culvenor, who works across a broad range of remote sensing technologies and applications, helping to identify strategically important areas for new technology, skills and business development.
This report outlines the management actions required to achieve set targets for water quality improvement in the Tully-Murray catchment of Northern Queensland, Australia. (136 pages)
Learn about lidar, a technology that uses high-speed laser pulses to generate three-dimensional structural data about the terrain and landscape features. CSIRO scientists are using lidar to investigate vegetation in native and plantation forests.
