Fantastic visit to the Intelligence Sensing Lab at Newcastle University ! Had the chance to wear sEMG sensors on my arm and test them for the first time, amazing experience. Huge thanks to Dr. Matthew Dyson for hosting us and giving a mini tour of the brand-new School of Engineering!

Today, we had our first group meeting of 2025 with some new faces! Our team SwaCIL is growing rapidly, with many excellent research projects underway. Although a few members joined online, we still had to move the camera way back to fit everyone in the photo! 🤩🤖

Gave a talk at CBKA on 28 April about our RoboRoyale project Durham University and our Science Robotics paper. And, today, I got my first hands-on experience inside a real hive 🤩 Absolutely fascinating to see the bees up close! 🐝 clevelandbeekeepers.org.uk science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
