Brenan DEW (Australian Space Agency) and Dr Vienna TRAN (space medicine researcher) will look at the physiological and environmental factors involved in human exploration and discuss how robots could be used as an alternative as a more disposable way to explore the unknown.

Participants are encouraged to debate and ask questions as part of the webinar.

Humans or robots, you decide.
