So who am I?  I’m a Teaching Fellow in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Warwick where I teach Mobile Robotics. Previously I have worked for Cheltenham Science Festival and I managed an EPSRC-funded project called Walking with Robots. In 2010, Walking with Robots was awarded the Rooke Medal for the Public Promotion of Engineering by the Royal Academy of Engineering.

 


I took over as Network Chair in October 2013 and since then my feet haven’t touched the ground.  We’ve run a very successful event on Space Robotics, a ROS workshop aimed at early career roboticists, taken part in a festival of robotics at the Science Museum and supported two international conferences. 


 


But it doesn’t stop there, we’ve lots planned for the coming year including a public talk on Assistive Technology and the keynote talk at TAROS 2014.  Exciting times ahead!!

I’m really looking forward to my tenure as chair and I hope to meet many of you over the coming months and years.
