Sean is a senior lecturer working in robotics, system identification and control engineering at the University of Sheffield. He led the robot mapping and localisation work for in-pipe robots as a Co-I on EPSRC project Assessing the Underworld (EP/K021699/1). He was recently a Co-I on EPSRC project Bioinspired control of electroactive polymers for next generation soft robots (EP/I032533/1). He currently leads themes on reinforcement learning for action discovery and internal models for forward emulation in driverless cars on EU H2020 project Dreams4Cars (www.dreams4cars.eu).
