Overview
Rob Siddall is a roboticist who develops robots that can tackle the most challenging terrain by investigating the most agile animals in nature. He has developed aquatic aircraft, a robotic flying gecko and a fish that collects microplastics.
Through these designs he will show how robotics can be used as a tool to further understand animal locomotion and ultimately build better robots, and how advanced technology can be used to protect nature. He will also consider how combining biology and robotics can provide an entry point into engineering for young people with an interest in science.
After the lecture there will be drinks and dinner in the IMechE Library, open to all in-person attendees.
