About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today we're talking with an expert in the field of space robotics. Can you tell us a bit about what drew you to this unique area? GUEST: Sure, I've always been fascinated by space exploration and the challenges of working in such a harsh environment. Robotics offers a way to overcome some of these challenges. HOST: That's fascinating! Now, let's discuss this new course, the 'Executive Certificate in Robotic Manipulation in Space'. How does it address the unique challenges of robotic manipulation in space? GUEST: The course covers advanced techniques like artificial intelligence, machine learning, and autonomous systems specifically for space applications. It also delves into practical aspects like teleoperation and haptic feedback. HOST: It sounds like a comprehensive program. Space robotics is a growing field, aren't there current trends that make this course particularly relevant? GUEST: Absolutely, with more countries and private companies entering the space race, there's increasing demand for skilled professionals who can design and operate robotic systems for space exploration and orbital servicing. HOST: That must present some challenges. What are some of the biggest hurdles in teaching or learning about robotic manipulation in space? GUEST: One major challenge is the lack of real-world experience. But we've addressed this by incorporating engaging case studies and simulations into the course. HOST: That's a great solution. Looking forward, where do you see the future of space robotics heading? GUEST: I believe we'll see more sophisticated AI and machine learning algorithms being used, leading to greater autonomy for space robots. This could open up new possibilities for space exploration and resource utilization. HOST: It's an exciting time for sure. Thank you for joining us today and giving us insight into the 'Executive Certificate in Robotic Manipulation in Space'. GUEST: My pleasure, thanks for having me.
