Biography

His career has taken him from a Major Open Scholarship at Cambridge University, through Cambridge Bachelor and Master of Arts degrees, through a Cambridge PhD Research Scholarship in the company of Stephen Hawking.

After eight years as a Fellow of Sydney Sussex College, he moved to a Readership and then a Chair at what is now the University of Portsmouth, leading many researchers in Robotics. In 1992 he moved to a Chair at the University of Southern Queensland, leading a group applying mechatronics to agricultural tasks, with an emphasis on machine vision.

Now in his eighties, he regards teaching and researcch more as a life-preserving hobby than a chore.
