Working in Robotics and Mechatronics? Introduce yourself!

Gemma Hadley

We'd love to hear more about you and why you've joined the community so here's the place to say hello and tell us a little bit more about yourself. 


Here are some questions to get you started:

  • What made you join the Robotics and Mechatronics network?

  • What are you hoping to get from the R&M community?

  • What aspect of robotics do you find the most exciting?
  • in reply to Gerard Kelly

    Thanks for the intro Gerry.

    Lego league is a fantastic initiative to help encourage STEM uptake in uni's and solve some of our recruitment issues in tech and manu sectors.  

    looking forward to seeing some engagement from the network.

  • Hello all, I'm Gerry Kelly. I previously worked in datacomms and software engineering up to senior management level, and now work for Learnit Educational Solutions, a STEM education company which partners with the IET to deliver FIRST LEGO League in Ireland.

    I partner with teachers and community leaders to facilitate participation in FIRST LEGO League Challenge for 11- to 16-year-olds in school and community groups. FIRST LEGO League Challenge is a robotics-based life skills competition which, among other things, involves designing and programming autonomous LEGO robots to tackle a series of themed missions against the clock. The theme for the 2022-23 season is SUPERPOWERED and will focus on the generation, storage, distribution and consumption of energy.

    My reason for joining the network is to develop our connections with industry, so that we can give the young people we engage with insights into education and career paths that build on their experiences in FIRST LEGO League.

  • As requested, here are a few examples of the robotics projects I have done.


    This large 12-DOF robot was developed to research Quadruped walking and clambering.


    This snake robot was developed for the exploration of physically constrained environments such as collapsed buildings where a wheeled or legged robot would get tangled or stuck.

  • Hi to all who are subscribed to this conversation.
    We have a number of relatively new TPN members. 
    It would be great to re-introduce ourselves add some pics of your latest work / college or personal project, if you can.

    thanks for the intro   

  • Hello, I am Nicholas Lee CEng MIET, and my BSc(hons) was in Cybernetics and Control Engineering. My interest is in robots that benefit humanity and in researching general purpose AI. I have a special interest in autonomous robots that use biomimetic locomotion rather than wheels.
    I have 30 years experience in the field, and I am also the owner of Lee Technology Ltd, and in that capacity I offer design consultancy services to develop electronic, robotic, and mechatronic products.

  • Hello every one This is Muhammad Khawar BS EE DAE EE , I am currently working in a Construction Company as Construction Manager Electrical for the one of the 1st and  Largest e bus depot in Qatar.  I studied the Robotics and Mechatronics, Controllers, Sensors and transducers and driver during my university. I am open to accept any volunteer role and discussion. 

  • Hi   it would be great to raise these questions again and get a feel for what folks are looking for when they Join the IET Robotics TPN.
