Portfolio
Since 2011 I have been providing robotics and laboratory automation services to a range of clients, both academic and industrial. This set of work has provided me with a broad practical understanding of getting projects built under real world constraints of budget and time.
Below are a few projects that are typical of my work. Unfortunately due to privacy concerns we cannot display all our past projects here, though further details can be provided on request in some instances. Some projects have been conducted with partners, though the majority were independent.
Please click on the images for additional information regarding the projects.
Assorted 3D Printer Designs
An area of much great interest for me is designing strange 3D printers.
Direct from granules 3D printer
This is a 3D printer that prints directly from granules.
Speaker Designs
I have constructed many speakers over the years for different purposes.
Wall gantry for art project
One of my earliest projects was to construct a XY gantry for an artist.
Kicking Robot
This is an extension of the micro robots project.
Reel-to-Reel Carbon Fibre Ablation Rig
This was a project carried out as a contract for PaCE (Polymer and Composite Engineering) Lab at Imperial College London, in collaboration with Jack Ashley.
The Digit Watch
The clock ring is an exercise in low power electronics as well as designing under extreme space restrictions.
Dip Bot
This was a project designed to automate a nano-chemistry experiment.
uRobot
These small robots were designed to be a much smaller replacement for robots that are typically used to teach the ROS (Robotic Operating System).
