Understanding consumer attitudes towards second-hand robots for the home (2024)
Journal Article

As robot numbers in the home increase, creating a market for second-hand robotic systems is essential to reduce the waste impact of the industry. Via a survey, consumer attitudes of United Kingdom participants towards second-hand robots were investig... Read More about Understanding consumer attitudes towards second-hand robots for the home.

Variable autonomy through responsible robotics: Design guidelines and research agenda (2024)
Journal Article

Physically embodied artificial agents, or robots, are being incorporated into various practical and social contexts, from self-driving cars for personal transportation to assistive robotics in social care. To enable these systems to better perform un... Read More about Variable autonomy through responsible robotics: Design guidelines and research agenda.

Evaluation of frameworks that combine evolution and learning to design robots in complex morphological spaces (2023)
Journal Article

Jointly optimising both the body and brain of a robot is known to be a challenging task, especially when attempting to evolve designs in simulation that will subsequently be built in the real world. To address this, it is increasingly common to combi... Read More about Evaluation of frameworks that combine evolution and learning to design robots in complex morphological spaces.

Practical hardware for evolvable robots (2023)
Journal Article

The evolutionary robotics field offers the possibility of autonomously generating robots that are adapted to desired tasks by iteratively optimising across successive generations of robots with varying configurations until a high-performing candidate...
