The last 10 years have been spent working on autonomous robot systems.
He has recently led a project involving the accumulation of low energy solar power input to provide the power for a group of submersible robots. He is a co-investigator exploring how microbial fuel cells can generate energy from foodstuffs and has implemented a system with the Ecobot robot.
He is currently also working on collective energy management in a robot swarm with a Visiting Researcher sponsored by the Japanese Defence Academy. He has experience in running large scale collaborative multi-disciplinary research projects working with neuroscientists, psychologists, aero engineers, chemists, biologists and microbiologists.
