About
Alastair Bradford is a robotics and autonomous systems researcher whose work focuses on the intersection of navigation, control, and real-world deployment. His most notable contribution is the development of a navigation system for an autonomous Formula Student race car, detailed in his 2023 paper "Racing With ROS 2," which has garnered early citations for its practical application of the Robot Operating System 2 in high-speed, competitive environments. This work exemplifies his broader interest in pushing autonomous vehicle technologies from theory into dynamic, real-world settings—particularly in motorsport, where he has helped advance the Formula Student and Formula SAE autonomous racing classes. Bradford’s research addresses key challenges in perception, path planning, and robust control under time-critical constraints, making his contributions valuable for students and engineers alike. As a member of the QUT Motorsport team, he has demonstrated how cutting-edge robotics frameworks can be adapted for agile, cost-effective platforms, inspiring a new generation of autonomous systems engineers.
