Robotics

My Background

I design and build small, specialised robotic systems that can integrate computer vision, AI, and non-destructive testing (NDT) technologies. My expertise lies in small-batch robotic solutions that solve unique challenges in research, inspection, and precision automation.

What I Offer

Draw on my hands-on leadership of robotics projects—including pipe crawler systems for weld inspection and agricultural robotics systems. Whether you need guidance in sensor integration, embedded systems development, or bespoke hardware deployments, I help bring robotic solutions from concept to operational reality.

Custom Robotics Development

• Mobile robotic platforms with advanced sensing capabilities
• 2D / 3D scanner development
• Custom CNC platforms

Computer Vision & AI-Driven Robotics

I specialise in robotics that see, learn, and adapt using:

• Video based real-time object detection & tracking
• Deep learning for anomaly detection & classification
• 3D vision and structure from mortion

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) Robotics

I integrate NDT techniques into robotic platforms for automated inspections of critical infrastructure and components. This includes:

• Ultrasonic-based robotic inspection systems
• Automated test platforms
• AI-assisted flaw classification & reporting
• LiDAR scanning
• High-resolution line-scan imaging

Embedded Systems & Sensor Fusion

• Embedded systems programming (C++)
• ESP, AVR, and ARM based systems
• A broad range of ADC converters and IO chips
• Realtime systems
• SPI, I²C, UART, and CAN bus device integration

What I Don’t Do

• Large scale factory automation
• FPGA development

Who I Work With

My clients typically include:

• R&D teams needing a prototype robotic solution
• Scientific researchers requiring precision automation or imaging
• Small-scale industrial users needing advanced inspection tools
• Robotics Firms looking to outsource specialist hardware development

Why Work With Me?

• End-to-end development – From concept to prototype, I handle design, fabrication, and software development.
• Agility & specialisation – I don’t do mass production; I build highly custom solutions where off-the-shelf systems fall short.
• Expertise-driven approach – With deep knowledge in computer vision, AI, and NDT, I create robotics that deliver real insight and precision.
