How often do you get the chance to (metaphorically) swim with sharks at a conference...?! Join our workshop at RoboSoft 2025 in Lausanne to discuss the future of the field, or better yet pitch what you think should be a moonshot goal to our sharks! 🦈🇨🇭 epfl.ch/labs/create/mo…

Let the Movember games begin... Decided to lose the beard this year and try to grow the moustache for men's mental health - one thing I can say for certain is my face has never been colder 🧔‍♂️ Any donations are appreciated and all for a good cause! movember.com/m/15202424?mc=…

The press release from my previous project went live today! Take a minute to watch if you're interested in underwater continuum robotics (or interested in watching me try my hardest to speak slowly and clearly... 👀) youtu.be/Mw_EsOVh9nU

Soft robotics innovation for underwater inspection


At our RoboSoft workshop this year we tried something very different with a shark-tank inspired theme 🦈 Thrilled with how it went and how packed the room was - huge variety of topics and styles and definitely something we'll look to continue in the future 💭

In a new Science #Robotics Focus article, @nana_obayashi and colleagues propose a research model that would blend long-term “slow science” and short-term “fast science” to promote progress in soft robotics. scim.ag/4b7HkHQ

Our perspective article which arose from our RoboSoft workshop last year has been published in Science Robotics! Massive thanks to all co-authors for their efforts and inputs - looking forward to pushing these initiatives into practice going forward tinyurl.com/yhw8fbrx


A rather excellent first 3 months in Lausanne ⛷️

After 5 years in Edinburgh it's time for a new challenge... I'm extremely excited to be joining the @EPFL_CREATE at EPFL as a Postdoc - ready for the challenge and to explore a new country🇨🇭 Massive thanks to @NRobotarium, @bio_liberty and Francesco for the memories!

Very happy to see the penultimate paper from my PhD now available online and is open access!🔓 In it we analyse how a deterministic wave predictor can be used to improve the performance of an NMPC controller for subsea vehicles 🌊 journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/02…

(2/2) ... As sad as I am to see it end, I've gained an enormous amount from this experience, both technically and personally, and I'm hopeful we can work together again in the future. If you'd like to know more about the work we published during this project, please reach out!

I have never been more ashamed than I am of my country right now. These people and their abhorrent behaviour DO NOT represent the UK or our values. Right wing divisive ideologies have no place in our society and need to be stamped out now.

A mob of “native patriots” lynched a lone black man in Manchester earlier today. Cowards.
