The annual Indonesian Robot Contest is into its sixth year this year, but both organizers and
participants realize that it is still more a display of creativity than a stepping stone for the
robot technology industry.
“Is it possible for a manufacturing company to organize a robot contest and later give the
winner a chance to produce the robots for the company?” asked a participant in a seminar on
robot technology development on Thursday. Another participant added that the robots they
created for the contest would only sit in museums and had no further use after the contest was
over.
Indeed, the demand for robot-operated machinery in Indonesia is still low. “Only strategic
industries like PT PAL and airplane maker PT Dirgantara Indonesia use robots,” said Finarya
Legoh, the assistant to the deputy for the utilization of technology campaign at the Office of
the State Minister for Research and Technology. Most manufacturers in the country still used
labor-intensive methods.
Taufiq Rohim, the director of the Metal Industries Development Center of the Ministry of
Trade and Industry argued that the condition of Indonesia’s industries did not yet support the
development of robot technology. “We have to see the big picture of the robot industry. It is
not enough to just have talented people who can create robots. The country needs a shifting
of perspective about industry management to have a robot industry,” he said.
