We also collaborate on interdisciplinary projects across QUT.
Centre for Robotics
We conduct world-leading research in intelligent robotics, translating fundamental research into real-world outcomes that benefit industry and society.
Signal Processing, Artificial Intelligence and Vision Technologies (SAIVT)
We conduct world-class research, provide postgraduate research training and undertake commercial research, industrial consultancy and product development in artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer vision, and signal processing.
Power Engineering
We are a multidisciplinary research group with a broad skill set covering the areas of modern power systems, power electronics, electrical machines and superconducting technology.
Energy Transition Centre
We're at the forefront of renewable energy research, taking important breakthroughs from the lab to the factory in solar, hydrogen, batteries, biofuels, energy efficiency, and digital energy.
Future Farming
We bring together elements of technology, society, and biology and enable the use of information, extracted from purposefully collected data, to manage agricultural production systems: optimise yield and quality and increase efficiency whilst ensuring sustainability.
Robotic Vision Australia
Robotic Vision Australia is a national community of researchers and professionals, passionate about the potential for robotics, computer vision and AI to solve many of the world's grand challenges. Robotic Vision Australia has been established to lead an agenda around Australia's uptake of these innovative technologies and what we need to do to realise our potential as world leaders in this field.
Centre for Biomedical Technologies
Our research and development focuses on better patient treatments and quality of life into the future using regenerative approaches, robotics and artificial intelligence, and advanced manufacturing to expand surgical possibilities and reduce complications.
Centre for the Environment
We bring research, government, industry and community together to create real-world solutions to the most pressing environmental challenges. We aim to deliver ground-breaking fundamental and applied research that conserves and restores environmental systems and ensures the sustainability of natural resources in our natural, production and built landscapes.
Centre for Data Science
We draw together capability in data science from across Australia, providing a centralised hub for world-class data science research, unique training opportunities, and active external engagement.
