#EngineeringRoleModels

Five individuals stand in front of a large screen displaying digital artwork. From left to right: Navjot Sawhney, hugging his steel washing machine; Dr. Shini Somara, smiling while holding her book; Meg Ginsberg, in a wheelchair, pointing her arm outward; and Laura Hoang and Alice Kan, standing sideways with one arm raised in the air.

From easing the burden of handwashing clothes in remote, low-income, and displaced communities to tackling the world’s deadliest diseases, meet our incredible #EngineeringRoleModels chosen for 2024's #NationalEngineeringDay.

Dr. Esyin Chew's work inspiring young people from underprivileged communities to pursue careers in STEM has already a huge impact across the world, from the Welsh valleys to Malaysian villages. #EngineeringRoleModels www.robottalk.org/2024/10/18/e...

John Leonard wearing a white shirt and a brown suit jacket.

Prof. John Leonard's huge body of work on robot navigation and mapping has been really impactful for building smarter, more robust autonomous vehicles, from underwater robots to self-driving cars. #EngineeringRoleModels www.robottalk.org/2024/09/27/e...

Simone Schuerle wearing a light pink shirt, smiling.

Prof. Simone Schuerle is developing micro- and nano-bots to tackle challenges in medicine, from drug delivery to diagnostics. Her interdisciplinary research combining chemistry, physics and synthetic biology is really revolutionary. #EngineeringRoleModels www.robottalk.org/2024/06/14/e...

Rolf Mueller giving a live presentation. He's wearing a blue shirt and tie and has a microphone taped to the side of his face.

Prof. Rolf Mueller's work on a bat-inspired robots with @thebatbotlab.bsky.social is pushing the limits of what's possible in robotic flight, sensing and navigation and highlights the huge power of international collaboration. #EngineeringRoleModels www.robottalk.org/2024/01/12/e...

Jorvon Moss with a robot sat on his shoulder, wearing a dark blue hoodie and steampunk goggles on his head.

Jorvon Moss (@oddjayy.bsky.social) is a self-taught maker whose cute and quirky steampunk robots have already inspired so many people to get started in STEM fields or to try making their own inventions at home. #EngineeringRoleModels www.robottalk.org/2023/11/17/e...

Kate Devlin wearing a grey t-shirt and brown glasses.

Dr Kate Devlin's (@drkatedevlin.bsky.social) work on the ethical and social implications of new technology is so important to ensure that new robotics innovations are developed in a responsible and equitable way. #EngineeringRoleModels www.robottalk.org/2023/10/13/e...

A black and white photo of Helmut Hauser, wearing a dark t-shirt and looking off into the distance.

Prof. Helmut Hauser is researching morphological computation - intelligence built-in to physical structures - which has huge potential to help us build smarter robot bodies inspired by the natural world. #EngineeringRoleModels www.robottalk.org/2023/05/05/e...

Carlotta Berry wearing a cream, pink, orange and black top with a floral print, and glasses.

Dr Carlotta Berry's (@drcaberry.bsky.social) work on increasing participation of marginalized and minoritized populations in STEM fields is so important to ensure the next generation of robotics engineers is more diverse and representative. #EngineeringRoleModels www.robottalk.org/2023/04/28/e...

A black and white photo of Sabine Hauert. She has long straight blonde hair with a fringe, and a nose piercing.

Prof. Sabine Hauert's research on swarm robotics — from nanorobots for cancer treatment to teams of larger robots for monitoring wildfires — is having a real impact in the world. #EngineeringRoleModels www.robottalk.org/2023/01/27/e...

Dan Stoyanov wearing a blue and white checked shirt, smiling.

Prof. Dan Stoyanov is researching robotics and AI for minimally invasive surgery. His work is helping to improve diagnostics, robot-assisted surgery and patient care. #EngineeringRoleModels www.robottalk.org/2023/01/20/e...

Fumiya Iida wearing glasses, a black suit and white shirt.

Prof. Fumiya Iida's research on evolutionary robotics is yielding fascinating insights that can help build better robots and advance our understanding of evolutionary biology. #EngineeringRoleModels www.robottalk.org/2022/01/28/e...

Helena Webb sat outside on a wooden bench, wearing a black top with white flowers on it, jeans and black glasses.

Dr. Helena Webb is focussed on responsible development and effective regulation of technologies. She has been working on the Ethical Black Box, an innovative safety mechanism for social robots. #EngineeringRoleModels www.robottalk.org/2021/03/26/e...

It's #NationalEngineeringDay, and this years theme is #EngineeringRoleModels... Here are two of mine ☺️

Today I'm celebrating #NationalEngineeringDay! 🤖

Over the last 4 years, I've had the privilege of chatting to so many inspirational engineers who are changing the world with robotics.

Tell me about the #EngineeringRoleModels that inspire you!
