Topic: Agriculture Robotics in Australia: from R&D to Commercialisation.
Abstract: This presentation will look at the R&D activity in Ag robotics at the ACFR over the last 15 years and its application to improving agriculture productivity. The presentation will discuss the research and challenges in air and ground robotics in agriculture, the operational trials conducted across Australia, and the challenges in commercialisation of the technology.

Title
Some Research on SLAM Problems
Abstract
The Centre for Autonomous Systems (CAS) at University of Technology Sydney (UTS) consists of 90 researchers in Robotics. In this talk, I will first introduce some of the research projects of UTS:CAS. Then I will present some of the research on mobile robot simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) problem conducted at UTS:CAS. In particular, this talk will cover some SLAM algorithms developed at UTS:CAS and some insights into the fundamental nonlinear structure of the SLAM problems.

Speaker:
Dr Kim Hambuchen
Dr. Kimberly Hambuchen will present robotic needs for future NASA lunar missions. She will discuss robotics for both in-space and on-surface mission needs, and how these robotic applications can also be applied to Mars mission scenarios. As space exploration moves further into deep space, robotic systems are needed that have increased autonomy requiring less direct human input. Additionally, the deep space environment, particularly the lunar surface, presents challenges for the physical manifestations of these systems. Dr.
