      Hey,
      My favourite robot is usually the robot that I am currently building. I am my own worse critic so usually after I build a robot, I analyse how I designed/constructed it and try to learn where I could have done better. So in most cases with the robots I’ve built, I feel that if given the opportunity again, big improvements could be made. This is not to say that the robot was poorly designed, but rather that as an engineer that I am getting better at designing them. Robots are incredibly complex machines and it takes many many considerations to design the ones I make. When designing a new robot, and while its being built – I am obsessed with it. I obsess about every detail of it. At the moment I am designing and developing a social interface (basically an interactive robot head) – so this is what I am most excited about, for now…
