Dorkbot Science communication, Watershed, Bristol, UK
This was my first Dorkbot presentation I’d ever given, and I spoke about the work that I do at the Sparks Repair Café, why it’s important and why I volunteer there. I went through a brief history of repair cafés and why we do what we do, and then I did a showcase of some of the hall of fame items we’ve had in the repair cafe!
Conference proceedings talk, The 39th ACM/SIGAPP Symposium On Applied Computing, Avila, Spain
This was my presentation to present the paper that I had accepted in the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing, which is a large conference with around 1000 attendees. The paper was on the topic of multi-robot patrol and how to detect anomalies in the environment that the robots are patrolling. The paper was accepted in the Robotics (IRMAS) track of the conference, and I presented it in a session with other robotics papers. The paper is available here
