Stand by for my funding call in robot dexterity coming in the next few weeks…

Great opportunity to come and work with the wonderful Angie Burnett on creating programmable plants

Are you interested in getting involved in my upcoming robotics research programme but not sure in what capacity / need to find partners? See this post on LinkedIn where I'm trying out a way to link people up! linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…

With ARIA colleagues, I'll be at Robotics Summit & Expo in Boston next week and then Automate Show in Chicago. Like to meet? DM me! Major funding call for robot dexterity research coming in June; later, seed funding on robotic hardware more generally

Chuffed to see Vivek Nityananda and my (pre-ARIA) research on praying mantis stereopsis used as a case study in philosophy of science by University of Iowa's Carrie Figdor: cambridge.org/core/journals/…

Really excited that the second ARIA funding call is now live. This is the first call within davidad 🎇 's programme, aiming to develop languages to precisely specify, verify, and control the behaviour of AI systems against formal requirements.

A great opportunity to play a key role in an ambitious programme re precision neurotech for human therapeutics -- neuroscience colleagues, please signal-boost

There’s one week left (25th March) to apply to be my #2 at ARIA.

You don’t need past qualifications in AI.

The key skills are interfacing with heterogenous R&D teams, managing/triaging lengthy multidimensional priority-queues, and facilitating collaborative progress.

A real milestone moment - the first ARIA programme goes live for applications. As a reminder, ARIA funding can be awarded to essentially any kind of entity, and is not limited to UK applicants.

I'm excited about the idea of an ARIA robotics prize! Deadline approaching for organisations interested in partnering with us to deliver one.

From my pre-ARIA work, paper with the awesome Maydel Fernandez-Alonso , Gordon Love and Abi Finch on how the visual system copes with the fact that different wavelengths of light require different optical focus, just out in Journal of Vision

I'm looking forward to attending RAS2024 in Sheffield next week! Please DM me if you'd like to meet up. A reminder that I'm currently looking for a technical specialist. aria-jobs.teamtailor.com/jobs/3596134-t…

Anyone who has questions about ARIA's approach to funding, do check out this excellent post from our CFO/COO, the amazing Antonia Jenkinson : ariaresearch.substack.com/p/q-and-a-anto…

Plus, I'm hiring If you know someone who has deep expertise in robotics and would be excited about working with the amazing team at ARIA to bring about a step-change in robot dexterity, please share!

Really excited to have just published my programme thesis on Robotic Dexterity. Please share, read, and give me feedback! DMs always open.

With our first funding opportunity live and many more coming soon, learn about our approach to funding ⬇️

Last week, Gemma Bale and I published our ARIA opportunity space: Scoping Our Planet bit.ly/3Snj1ws. Time for a short 🧵on why we think new applications of optics are so critical + relevant to responding effectively to the climate crisis 1/5

Very important and timely programme thesis from ARIA's own davidad 🎇 , on how to produce formal guarantees of AI safety.

Super-excited to see the first ARIA funding call, in Suraj’s opportunity space.

Great to see a neuroscience ARIA opportunity space! Jacques Carolan is aiming to better understand and treat neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders. Do take a look and give feedback, here: aria.org.uk/wp-content/upl…
