About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today I'm thrilled to be talking with Dr. Jane Robinson, a leading expert in Space Robotics and the director of the Postgraduate Certificate in Space Robotics Affirmations. Welcome, Dr. Robinson! GUEST: Thank you for having me, I'm excited to be here! HOST: To start, could you tell us a bit about your personal experiences and insights related to this course topic? GUEST: Absolutely! I've spent over 15 years working in the space robotics industry, and I've seen firsthand how important it is to have skilled professionals in this field. This course is designed to provide engineers, scientists, and roboticists with the advanced skills they need to succeed in space systems, autonomous navigation, and robotic manipulation. HOST: That's fascinating! Could you share some current industry trends that are relevant to this course? GUEST: Sure! One trend we're seeing is the increasing use of artificial intelligence in space applications and planetary exploration. Our course covers this topic in-depth, giving students the opportunity to develop expertise in AI for space robotics. HOST: That sounds like a valuable skill to have in today's tech-driven world. Now, what are some of the challenges faced in the field or while learning/teaching this subject? GUEST: One challenge is the lack of practical experience many students have when they first start the course. That's why we've incorporated hands-on projects and industry collaborations into the program. These experiences not only enhance students' resumes but also give them the opportunity to apply what they've learned in real-world scenarios. HOST: That's a great approach! As a final question, what are your thoughts on the future of space robotics and this area of study? GUEST: I believe space robotics will play an increasingly important role in space exploration and research. With the right skills and training, our students will be at the forefront of this exciting industry, leading the way in the next generation of space robotics. HOST: Dr. Robinson, thank you so much for joining us today and sharing your insights on the Postgraduate Certificate in Space Robotics Affirmations. It's been a pleasure having you on the show! GUEST: Thank you for having me, it was a pleasure being here!
