After founding GOBOTiX in 2013 we are expanding the company rapidly and always eager to take on new challenges. Myself and our employees have a long history of robotics and autonomous systems related experience. GOBOTiX is always on the look out for new opportunities to apply autonomous robotics technology to real-world problems in all domains (rail, road, air and sea). GOBOTiX have 2 Toyota Prius vehicles with drive-by-wire conversions and a variety of autonomous systems. These vehicles are used to develop and test new autonomous driver safety systems in development for both road and rail applications.GOBOTiX believes that autonomous technology can be used to improve existing transport systems, such as Rail and road vehicle, and agricultural techniques and we welcome contact from companies operating in these domains.

Lead the Nessie team to success at SAUC-E 2010.I Designed and built Nessie V autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) personally ready for the master project Team to take over for the SAUC-E competition. The design involved: - Waterproofing and pressure testing - Kept track of budgets and purchasing of equipment. - Software, full-stack - Power and electronics - Embedded operating system (Linux) - Propulsion systems - Device drivers and Hardware abstraction layer to middleware - Provided HIL testing facilities and Visualisation for mission monitoring purposes using my PhD software the Augmented Reality Framework (ARFWork)
