Alexander Morley

I am a postgraduate student, currently finishing a brand new Robotics MSc at the University of Manchester. I graduated from the University of Manchester with a Bachelor of Mechatronic Engineering, with Honours. In the future I intend to further develop my skills and experiences with robotic systems, taking a specific interest in applications with multirobotics and swarm robotics. I will be undertaking a PhD at the University, researching Robot Fleets for Inspection, to explore different high complexity robots working together for a larger goal.

Skills:

  • Python
  • ROS
  • Computer-Aided Design
  • CoppeliaSim
  • C++ & C

    • Embedded Systems Project

    Designed and Developed an autonomous differential drive, line following robot, able to traverse an obstacle course.

    Simulation of Impedance Control

    Coded and simulated impedance control of a One Degree of Freedom robotic arm with an antagonistic cable joint.

    Construction of Differential Control Prototype

    Fabricated a physical One Degree of Freedom robotic arm that implemented differential control.

    A* Algorithm

    Designed and coded a simple A* path planning algorithm, able to traverse obstacles on a grid.

    Feedback Controller

    Designed and Coded a autonomous drone flight algorithm that implements a Cascade Controller.

    Robotic Systems Design Project

    Preliminary development of an object retrival robotic system that utilises a Leo Rover and Trossen PincherX 150 Manipulator.

    Personal Projects

    Treasurer of the Robotics Society

    Treasurer and sensior committee member of the UoM Robotics Society, responsible for managing finances of the society including 6 different projects with over 250 members.

    Capacitor Leakage Research Article

    Researched the leakage current variation due to large temperature changes on low equivalent series resistance electrolytic capacitors.

    Video Game Design and Developement

    Personal coding project to develop a captivating video game with high variance and repeatability.

    Dissertation: Underwater obstacle avoidance

    Preliminary development that will concentrate on the preliminary scoping and development of the proposed solution for avoiding obstacles in murky water. (Image from AUVSI )

    PhD: Robot Fleets for Inspection

    This project will encompass the cooperation of multiple heterogeneous vehicles for inspections. The heterogeneity can stem from different locomotion modes (aerial, wheeled, legged) as well as different onboard sensors
