Our stories
Our research
We focus on high-quality, cross-disciplinary research in robotic vision, machine learning, video analytics, wireless power transfer, microgrids, renewable energy integration and superconductivity.
Our school is home to award-winning research facilities and research centres. These include the Da Vinci Precinct, a Brisbane Airport-based area where we engage in aerospace automation research and development, and our Microgrid Facility, a purpose-built environment for investigating practical and efficient grid integration of renewable energy solutions.
We also collaborate on interdisciplinary projects across QUT including with the Institute of Future Environments (IFE) and the Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation (IHBI).
Australian Centre for Robotic Vision
Our researchers lead the internationally-recognised Australian Centre for Robotic Vision at QUT which is creating the next generation of robots.
These robots can understand their environment using the sense of vision, allowing them to perform tasks in complex and changing environments.
Signal Processing, Artificial Intelligence and Vision Technologies
Our researchers conduct postgraduate training, industrial consultancy and product development in the areas of speech, audio, image and video technologies.
We focus on applying machine learning and pattern recognition techniques to solve real world problems in computer vision and speech and language processing.

Our courses
Electrical Engineering
"What attracted me to engineering was the chance to put critical thinking into practise, and work as an inventor to solve real world problems. While studying I was involved with the Girls in Engineering Making Statements club and the Big Sister / Little Sister mentoring program, which gives the higher year students a chance to help the first and second year students settle in."
Deanna Hood
Electrical and Aerospace Engineering
"QUT’s focus on real work connections prepared me to enter the aerospace industry. I worked on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as part of a Vacation Research Experience Scheme project and while undertaking work experience at the Australian Research Centre for Aerospace Automation. As a graduate I have joined Airbus; one of the largest, international aerospace companies."
Benjamin Letheren
Mechatronics
"I chose to study mechatronics as it focused on the design, control and interactions of both mechanical and electrical systems. By adding robotics as a second study area I gained further insight and depth. I’m now an automation engineer on working on control systems from individual robots to whole manufacturing lines."
