About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today I'm thrilled to be joined by Dr. Jane Robinson, a leading expert in space robotics and the director of the new Postgraduate Certificate in Space Robotics Exhibitions. Dr. Robinson, welcome! GUEST: Thank you for having me. I'm excited to be here! HOST: To start, could you share what initially drew you to the field of space robotics? GUEST: Absolutely! I've always been fascinated by space exploration and the potential for robots to help us explore new frontiers. It's a challenging and dynamic field that combines engineering, computer science, and physics. HOST: That sounds amazing. Now, let's talk about the Postgraduate Certificate in Space Robotics Exhibitions. What makes this course unique? GUEST: Our course is designed to provide advanced knowledge in key areas like robotic manipulation, autonomous navigation, and space systems engineering. It's highly interactive, with real-world case studies and expert instruction from leading researchers in the field. HOST: Speaking of real-world applications, could you give us an example of how space robotics is currently impacting the industry? GUEST: Sure! One exciting area is satellite servicing, where robots can repair or refuel satellites in orbit, extending their lifespan and reducing space debris. HOST: That's fascinating. Now, what are some of the challenges faced in teaching or learning space robotics? GUEST: Space robotics is a highly interdisciplinary field, which can make it challenging to cover all the necessary topics in-depth. However, our course is designed to provide a comprehensive overview, making it accessible to engineers, scientists, and researchers. HOST: Great to hear that! Finally, where do you see the future of space robotics heading in the next 5-10 years? GUEST: I believe we'll see more advanced robots being used for planetary exploration, satellite servicing, and even space manufacturing. The potential for space robotics is truly limitless! HOST: Dr. Robinson, thank you so much for sharing your insights and expertise with us today. We're excited to see the impact this course will have on the future of space robotics. GUEST: Thank you for having me! It's been a pleasure.
