MIMRee (Multi-Platform Inspection, Maintenance & Repair in Extreme Environments) is a £4.2m project funded by Innovate UK and industry and focuses on building the world's first fully autonomous and comprehensive multi-robotic platform for the inspection, maintenance and repair of offshore wind farms. In this project, I am in charge of the planning and coordination of the various robotic assets, which include drones, an autonomous surface vessel, a climbing inspection and maintenance robot and multi-functional arm. I am also responsible for the human-robot interface.
Prometheus
Prometheus is a £2m project funded by Innovate UK and industry and focuses on building an intelligent reconfigurable drone for the exploration of confined spaces, such as underground mines. In this project, I am in charge of the intelligent exploration and autonomous navigation of the drone.
