Claire chatted to Danesh Tarapore from the University of Southampton all about fault detection, division of labour, and robot swarms.
Danesh Tarapore is an Associate Professor at the School of Electronics and Computer Science at the University of Southampton. Danesh has addressed a diverse range of challenges in fault detection and recovery in robot swarms. He is also keen to push robot swarms out of their carefully controlled laboratory environments and into the real world, pursuing applications for robot swarms in marine exploration and in forest monitoring. Research on resilient robots that he has collaborated on has been featured on the front cover of the Nature magazine and received widespread media coverage.
