The SMuRFS: Not the Blue Cartoon Characters... Daniel Mitchell

Papa, hefty, clumsy and brainy Smurf are probably who you are thinking about right now... We are going to reinvent the meaning of the blue cartoon characters so you now think of Symbiotic Multi-Robot Fleets (SMuRFs). The SMuRFs include a wide range of robots with the ability to work together for inspections offshore and in the nuclear sector. In addition to this we will discuss the challenges all whilst debunking common robot myths along the way. Daniel is a final year PhD hailing from the University of Glasgow who recently won IET Rising Star of the Year and has travelled all the way from California Institute of Technology (Caltech) following a recent visiting student researcher position.
