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 course director for the Postgraduate Certificate in Space Robotics Exhibitions. Welcome, Jane! GUEST: Thanks for having me, excited to be here! HOST: So, let's dive right in. Can 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 an exciting and rapidly evolving field with endless possibilities. HOST: That's amazing! Now, being an expert in this area, what current industry trends are you seeing that relate to the course? GUEST: We're seeing a growing demand for specialized skills in space robotics, especially in areas like planetary exploration, satellite servicing, and space manufacturing. Governments and private companies are investing heavily in these areas, creating a wealth of opportunities for professionals with the right skills. HOST: It sounds like there are many exciting developments in the field. What challenges do students and professionals face when learning or teaching this subject? GUEST: One of the biggest challenges is the interdisciplinary nature of space robotics. It requires a solid understanding of robotics, engineering, computer science, and space science. But with the right resources and guidance, it's an incredibly rewarding field to study and work in. HOST: That's a great point about the interdisciplinary nature of the field. Now, looking to the future, where do you see space robotics heading in the next 5-10 years? GUEST: I believe we'll see even more advanced robots being used in space, from repairing and maintaining satellites to building structures on the moon and Mars. The potential for space robotics is truly limitless, and I'm excited to see where the future takes us. HOST: It's incredible to think about the possibilities. Thank you so much for joining us today, Dr. Robinson, and giving us a glimpse into the exciting world of space robotics. GUEST: My pleasure! Thanks for having me, and I hope your listeners will consider joining our Postgraduate Certificate in Space Robotics Exhibitions to become part of this amazing field.
