Mosques have been targeted in Southport, Hartlepool and Sunderland. Asian man walking alone was punched by a rioter in Hartlepool while others laughed at him. Asian Uber driver was attacked in Sunderland by a mob while a van driven by a white man was left alone. Black

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.

(1/2) A fantastic end to a fantastic project Over the last 18 months I've had the pleasure to work on a collaborative project between @NRobotarium and SENAI CIMATEC in Brazil, developing soft robotic solutions for the offshore industry. ...

(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!

YES!! 🙌 Let out the biggest sigh of relief in a long time reading this 😂

And this is your guy, huh? Thank you Seth Meyers

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…

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

Christmas mode well and truly activated 🎅🎄

A rather excellent first 3 months in Lausanne ⛷️

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

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

Submit a single-slide contribution to our workshop on Moonshot Goals in Soft Robotics by March 31st for the chance to pitch your bold, high-risk, high-reward "moonshot" idea to our panel of experts! Website: lnkd.in/e4ikcq_3 Submission form: lnkd.in/euHNmT7X

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 💭

I love my job

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

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=…
