Seminar: “Robots, Systems and Planets”

We are glad to invite you to a seminar by Dr. Anton Ivanov, titled “Robots, Systems and Planets”.

Seminar Abstract

Since the 1950s, the exploration of space by robots and humans was driven primarily by political ambitions. While many excellent science programs continue across the world, the attention is turned to innovative space concepts that can generate new business here on Earth. I will present Model Based Systems Engineering as a concept that improves design quality of projects and can also be used to create new systems architectures and applications. This approach can integrate other disciplines, such as big data processing and neural networks analysis for novel exploitation of space data. I will also present lessons learned from project-oriented approach in education.
