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.
