The IEEE NSW Section Robotics and Automation Society Chapter will have its second lecture and workshop on the 9th of April 2020. Dr William Crowe, CEO, High Earth Orbit Robotics, Australia and Mr Mark Bishop, CEO, Ocular Robotics, Australia will join us and talk about the following topics.

Dr William Crowe:
Spacecraft Swarms for Satellite Asset Management
Abstract: 80,000 new satellites have been announced for launch over the next decade, up from around 2,500 today. With the current satellite fleet suffering regular anomalous behaviour and failure due to the harsh space environment, companies like HEO Robotics are progressing to offer asset management for satellite operators. HEO Robotics is developing distributed swarm systems to this goal and the architecture and methodology will be outlined in this talk.

Biography: William co-founded High Earth Orbit Robotics, a company with a vision to prospect and utilise asteroid resources and an immediate goal of using the same technology to inspect and resolve anomalies on satellites. His company counts the Australian Air Force as a customer. He has a PhD in Aerospace Engineering from UNSW Sydney, where his research focussed on using swarms of spacecraft to characterise asteroids. He won several international awards for his research, including the Space Generation Advisory Council’s "Move an Asteroid" scholarship for his work using small spacecraft in Earth orbit to intercept asteroids as they pass through the Earth-Moon system.

Mr Mark Bishop:
