A quarterly newsletter from the QUT Centre for Robotics
Welcome to the first newsletter from the QUT Centre for Robotics. This is a quarterly catch-up about what’s been going on at the Centre.  

Feel free to forward this to your colleagues and they can use this opt-in link http://eepurl.com/hIKu8z to subscribe and get their own copy in future.  You can find out more about us at any time by visiting our website at qcr.ai or check out our new promo video

The QUT Centre for Robotics (QCR) was established at the beginning of 2020 to recognize the contributions of the team in research, industry collaboration and teaching.  We are around 100 people including academics (chief investigators CIs and associate investigators AIs), research engineers, postdoctoral research fellows, PhD and masters’ students and visitors.  We occupy 1000m2 of office and laboratory space at QUT’s Gardens Point campus in downtown Brisbane.

Our heritage goes back to well before 2020.  In 2014 we were established as the lead of the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Robotic Vision (ACRV), an investment of nearly $30M and a partnership with other leading Australian and international universities.  That Centre finished at the end of 2020 and a summary of its achievements can be found on the Centre’s legacy website

We have also established a not-for-profit body Robotic Vision Australia which will continue some of the education (Robotic Vision Summer School) and agenda-setting work of the ACRV. 

The QUT Centre for Robotics is committed to high-quality research and research training, we publish in top robotics journals and conferences, and develop PhD qualified human capital for leadership in industry and academia.  We have a diverse range of industry collaborations spanning applications in agriculture, manufacturing, the natural environment, health and medical, circular economy, space, aerospace, maritime and defence.  We train undergraduate engineers in mechatronics and aerospace who we hope will become your future employees.  Finally, we engage with the wider public through talks and social media to present a realistic and balanced perspective about what robots can, and (so far) cannot do. 

COVID willing, we are planning to hold occasional industry meetups with focus on particular topics in robotics. 

Thanks for reading this far.  Feel free to send suggestions or feedback about the newsletter to Ilana Bolingford - ilana.bolingford@qut.edu.au 

Enjoy the issue.

QUT Centre for Robotics Researchers Reach for Space


QUT robotics research is joining the push to take humanity back to the Moon in designing and demonstrating a logistics robot for space application.
 
Researchers from QUT’s Centre for Robotics will partner with Canadian-based space technology company MDA and Australian Remote Operations for Space and Earth in designing a logistics robot prototype that may be used inside the International Space Station (ISS) or the Lunar Gateway. Read more here.

 
 


Lunar Construction Rover Feasibility Project
 
This project will demonstrate the feasibility of an Australian operated Lunar Construction Rover and Stage 1 Mission scope. The project will investigate and formulate the end-to-end mission concept and align architecture, governance and strategy with NASA’s Artemis mission. The project will develop a business and commercialisation plan to secure further investment.

The project is led by AROSE (Australian Remote Operation in Space and on Earth), a National consortium that QUT Is a member of. Partners in the project are some of the other members of AROSE including: Nova Systems, Woodside, Fleet Space Technologies, Curtin Uni, UNSW.
The project is funded by the Australian Space Agency, in the Moon to Mars Initiative Demonstrator Feasibility Grants.

The project team includes CI Thierry Peynot, Ali Buchberger (Office of Industry Engagement), Garima Samvedi and Dasun Gunasinghe (Research Engineering Facility).


Advanced Terrain Detection - Phase 1

Phase 1 of ATD was completed in August 2021, after 18 months of work in close collaboration with industry partner Rheinmetall Defence Australia (RDA) and collaborator CSIRO (Robotics group). The project is part of a wider program also involving the VRS team (Visual Recognition System) at QUT led by Simon Denman and Clinton Fookes, and RMIT.

The project team included: Guenes Melih Minareci, Bilal Arain, Garima Samvedi, Tim Hojnik (until Feb. 2021), CIs Michael Milford and Thierry Peynot. The project team developed and implemented methods for terrain classification and terrain traversability estimation for RDA’s off-road autonomous ground vehicles. The milestones of the project included reports, software and integration milestones, to demonstrate to RDA executives.

Verton Technologies Australia 

ARM Hub, the Innovative Manufacturing CRC (IMCRC) and QUT (CIs Jonathan Roberts and Matthew Dunbabin) have been working with Verton Technologies Pty Ltd  to investigate how robotics can advance the development and manufacturing of its R-Series load management system. 

Verton invented an IoT enabled, remote-controlled load-management system that eliminate the need for human held tag lines. Verton’s products not only delivers safer, faster and smarter crane operations, but its AI capabilities create real market advantages by delivering market intelligence, project planning direction, alerts, and product improvement insights. While Verton commenced its collaboration with IMCRC, ARM Hub and  QUT experts seeking assistance to robotically manufacture its load orientation products, the company pivoted when the value of the data it could collect became clear.

Today, Verton manufactures high value AI enabled remote control units and offers them as both a product for sale or lease as well as a service. The company has secured international joint ventures and grown from a start-up to a high value exporting Australian SME. Verton now has its sights set on a new big data technology platform set to disrupt the construction industry.  Read more here.



 


 
Voltin  
 
Voltin, a Brisbane-based SME, has developed a new technology for inspecting high-rise building façades. Through ARM Hub, Voltin were able to access expertise within QUT to guide them through a design to manufacture process. Now beyond prototyping phases, Voltin’s AutoBat2.0 is a full production model. The AutoBAT system automates the recording, evaluation, and reporting of building façade defects, significantly transforming traditional methods of inspection. Their artificial intelligence (AI) enabled engine can be operated safely from the ground to accurately locate and identify defects and anomalies (e.g., peeling paint, water marks, surface cracks, corrosion) and automatically generate inspection reports. ARM Hub has provided industrial design capability; advice about drones, CASA and aerospace science; augmentation of the company’s AI expertise and input to data-as-service business models. In the next stages the ARM Hub will provide Voltin with further industrial design expertise and coordinate specific robotic ‘tooling’ expertise to optimise outcomes.  
 
Since launching in 2020, Voltin has created 5 new jobs and 2 student internship opportunities, anticipating further growth of 8-10 more positions through 2022 and expansion of business into Southeast Asia into 2023.
