I've started a myspace for the music I've been making using Ableton live and my custom midi controller. At the moment there is only one song on the site but I'll add more as I finish them (don't expect any updates soon though).

I got called 'Peludo' once in Belize, made me laugh, hence the name.

PhD topic in 'The Engineer'
An Article by my co-supervisor, Prof. Chris Melhuish, has been featured in The Engineer. The article highlights some of the issues in humanoid robot control that we are trying to achieve at BRL and features a picture of the BERT robot that I work with. Unfortunately the article cannot be read online.
'There are two levels to the control project,' said Herrmann. 'In the first, the robot operates like a machine in a production line. You can tell a robot to move a cup from a height of 0m to 0.4m, for instance. The second, operating on top of the machine motion, is a controller to create movement that is very human-like.
'The best way for a human to move is to minimise the muscle effort, and that's what we want to implement in robots. So we must measure that in humans and model it for our robots.'
