About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today I'm excited to have Dr. Jane Smith with us, an expert in robotics and artificial intelligence. We're here to talk about an exciting course she's involved in, "Robotics Decision Making for Space". Dr. Smith, could you briefly introduce the course to our listeners? GUEST: Absolutely, the course is a Graduate Certificate designed to equip professionals with advanced knowledge in autonomous systems and AI for space exploration. It focuses on space robotics, path planning, and machine learning for extraterrestrial environments. HOST: Fascinating! Could you share some personal experiences or insights related to this field? GUEST: Sure, I've worked on several space robotics projects and one thing that stands out is the complexity of designing systems for operations in challenging space conditions. It's a demanding yet rewarding field. HOST: Definitely sounds challenging! Speaking of which, what are some of the current challenges in this area of study or industry? GUEST: One major challenge is the unpredictability of space environments. We're constantly pushing the boundaries of what our robots can do, and they need to be able to adapt and make decisions independently in real-time. HOST: That's quite a task! Now, looking ahead, how do you see the future of robotics decision making in space? GUEST: I believe we'll see more sophisticated AI algorithms being used, capable of learning from their environment and making critical decisions. This will open up new possibilities for space exploration. HOST: Dr. Smith, thank you so much for joining us today and giving us a glimpse into this exciting field. It's been a pleasure talking to you. GUEST: Thank you for having me. It's been a pleasure sharing my experiences and insights.
