I build things that move, think and last.

   KhronaHQ

   KhronaHQ buys African tech companies that have real customers but have stalled, and runs them for the long term on one shared platform: finance, billing, analytics and infrastructure that every company plugs into.

   Arm

   A robot arm, end to end: the kinematics, the control, and getting the gripper to land where the maths says it should.

   notes + footage when it moves
3. 03RoboticsIn progress

   Hexapod

   Six legs, one body. Gaits, balance and uneven ground: the interesting problems start when the floor isn't flat.

   notes as it learns to walk
4. 04RoboticsIn progress

   Two-wheeler

   A two-wheeled robot, from the motors and the control loop up.

   on the bench now
5. 05RoboticsExploring

   Autonomous systems

   Machines that sense, decide and act on their own, and what that changes about how people and goods move, across very different sectors.

   mobility first
6. 06RoboticsExploring

   Regenerative braking

   Recovering the energy a vehicle spends slowing down, instead of losing it as heat. Paired with autonomy, a way to make getting around cheaper and go further.

   braking that charges
7. 07RoboticsIn progress

   Swarm

   Many simple robots, one behaviour. No leader: each follows a few local rules, and the group does the rest.

   the dots at the top of this page run the same idea

   Reinforcement learning

   Agents that learn by trying and being rewarded, not by being told. Reading everything I can on it, and the thread I keep pulling across the arm, the hexapod, the two-wheeler and the swarm.

   obsessed, honestly

   Material Science

   How what something is made of decides what it can do. Reading for now; notes will land here as reading turns into experiments.

   reading list soon

The first notes are on their way: progress on the arm, the hexapod and what I'm reading on reinforcement learning.
