• See failure as a beginning. • Never stop learning. • Assume nothing, question everything. • Teach others what you know. • Analyze objectively. • Practice humility. • Respect constructive criticism. • Take initiative. • Give credit where it's due. • Love what you do.

Things I keep in mind: -Remember good days but don't forget mistakes. -Thank role models for inspiration -Encourage/motivate people who look at you for inspiration -Don't be so hard on yourself -Take regular breaks #AcademicTwitter Academic Chatter™

Starting the working year cold, with no office heating, but grateful that my past self put an emergency hot water bottle in my desk drawer.

It's been another great and busy day at #robosoft22. Robotics SuperLab exhibit stand showcasing some of our work has been well received. We are having some fantastic discussions and making connections. Come and speak to us if you are attending.

On behalf of all the VOILAbers, we congratulate Ignazio on his promotion to Full Professor and Personal Chair at The University of Edinburgh! Very well deserved, Ignazio!

A snapshot of our research group in October 2022 - What a wonderful set of humans. Today we said goodbye to some members and welcome to others. I’m in constant admiration of their energy and drive to do good in the world. Keep being excellent.
