SUMMARY:Space as a Laboratory for Australian Innovation
DESCRIPTION:Engineers are trained to see constraints as problems to be solved. In space\, those constraints include radiation\, isolation\, distance\, microgravity and extreme environments. Hear from Australian astronaut and 2026 Australian of the Year Katherine Bennell-Pegg on how these same challenges can be powerful opportunities for discovery\, innovation and technological advancement. \nKatherine will showcase how the unique conditions of space are a laboratory unlike any other. She will highlight how space-based experimentation is advancing fields including radiation science\, advanced materials\, biomedical engineering\, automation\, remote operations\, quantum technologies\, manufacturing and critical minerals processing. These insights are helping researchers and engineers better understand complex systems\, develop new technologies and test ideas that would be difficult or impossible to explore on Earth. \nFor Australia’s engineering community\, the implications are significant. As access to space-based research and manufacturing expands\, engineers will play a critical role in translating discoveries into real-world products\, infrastructure\, services\, and industries.

SUMMARY:[Engineers Australia Webinar] Perception and localisation for space robots
DESCRIPTION:Operating robotic systems on the Moon and Mars presents engineering challenges unlike anywhere on Earth.\nWithout GPS\, reliable communications\, or predictable environmental conditions\, space robots must independently understand their surroundings\, determine their location\, and safely navigate complex terrain while operating in high-risk environments where failure is not an option. \nThis webinar explores how researchers at QUT’s Centre for Robotics are advancing perception\, localisation\, and autonomous navigation technologies for the next generation of planetary exploration missions. Drawing on work supporting Roo-ver\, Australia’s first lunar rover\, attendees will learn how engineers are tackling the challenges of GPS-denied navigation\, terrain assessment\, sensor integration\, and decision-making in extreme environments. \nThe session will also showcase the role of advanced robotics\, artificial intelligence\, and real-world testing environments in developing systems capable of operating beyond Earth. Through insights from QUT’s state-of-the-art lunar testbed\, Yandiwanba\, attendees will gain an understanding of how emerging technologies are being tested and validated before deployment in mission-critical applications. \nWhether your interest lies in robotics\, autonomous systems\, AI\, defence\, mining\, infrastructure\, or the future of space exploration\, this webinar will provide practical insights into the engineering innovations shaping the next frontier of autonomous operations.
