About me

My work at UWE spans Research and Public Engagement. I conduct research in Cognitive Robotics within the Bristol Robotics Lab. I am a member of the Science Communication Unit, and undertake public engagement work centred upon robotics. Robot ethics is a significant focus of my current work, including the development of new standards.
