This is an Industrial Stream NSERC CREATE training program - SMART Autonomous Robotic Technology for Space Exploration (SMART-ART). Space exploration is not only the frontier of technology innovation but now also an important economic frontier. Canada's contribution to the NASA Lunar Gateway project, Lunar Gateway Robotics, has created a surging demand in Canada for Highly Qualified Personnel (HQP) with smart space robotics training. There are currently 3 challenges in Canadian space sector: shortage of well-rounded HQP with inter/multidisciplinary skill sets related to Artificial Intelligence, Computer Vision, and Autonomous Robotics for space exploration; an aging workforce with average age of 54; and gender inequality. The SMART-ART program will address these challenges by training HQP trainees (undergraduate and graduate students, PDFs) through an experiential industry-oriented mobility-focused training program. HQP will develop essential inter/multidisciplinary technical and professional skills through collaborative and integrated activities in four research areas: Artificial Intelligence, Computer Vision, Autonomous Robotics, and Systems Engineering for space exploration. The ultimate objective of SMART-ART is to foster a critical mass of HQP for space industry and boost trainees' interdisciplinary job-readiness level. The SMART-ART program will train HQP through 8 interlinked Training Elements: 1) Industrial Internships & Site Visits; 2) EDI Essentials & Leadership Training; 3) Student Mobility & Interdisciplinary Experience; 4) Enriched Training and Mentoring Experiences; 5) Technical Short Courses; 6) Professional Short Courses; 7) Entrepreneurship Experience; and 8) Annual Summit. Equity, Diversity and Inclusion initiatives have been integrated into all program components. The SMART-ART trainees will be highly mobile via industrial internships, research lab rotations, international exchanges and multiple conference and workshop experiences. This will improve the job readiness level of HQP in foundational knowledge, broad industry abilities, and job-specific occupational skills, and build their career paths from academia to industry and government.

这是一个工业流NSERC Create培训计划-用于空间探索的SMART自主机器人技术(SMART)。太空探索不仅是技术创新的前沿，现在也是重要的经济前沿。加拿大对NASA月球之门项目-月球之门机器人的贡献，在加拿大创造了对具有智能空间机器人培训的高素质人员(HQP)的激增需求。加拿大空间部门目前面临三个挑战：缺乏具备人工智能、计算机视觉和自主机器人空间探索的跨学科/多学科技能的全面的人力资源规划；劳动力老龄化，平均年龄为54岁；以及性别不平等。智能艺术项目将通过培训HQP实习生(本科生和研究生，PDF)来应对这些挑战，培训计划以体验式行业为导向，以移动性为重点。HQP将通过四个研究领域的协作和综合活动发展基本的跨学科/多学科技术和专业技能：人工智能、计算机视觉、自主机器人和空间探索系统工程。智能艺术的最终目标是为航天工业培养足够多的HQP，并提高学员的跨学科工作准备水平。智能艺术项目将通过8个相互关联的培训要素培训HQP：1)工业实习和实地访问；2)EDI基本知识和领导能力培训；3)学生流动性和跨学科经验；4)丰富的培训和指导经验；5)技术短期课程；6)专业短期课程；7)创业经验；8)年度峰会。公平、多样性和包容性倡议已纳入所有方案组成部分。智能艺术实习生将通过工业实习、研究实验室轮换、国际交流以及多个会议和研讨会体验来实现高度移动性。这将提高HQP在基础知识、广泛的行业能力和特定职业技能方面的就业准备水平，并构建他们从学术界到行业和政府的职业道路。
