Michael Somerfield

Michael holds a Bachelor’s degree in Mechatronics from Queensland University of Technology, where he worked on bipedal locomotion for his honours thesis. After graduation, he spent 4 years working in industry on field robotics, developing autonomous platforms in environments ranging from hundreds of meters underground, to the deserts around Coober Pedy. He has joined the team at the ARIAM hub to further his expertise in the field through a PhD, in the process hoping to help establish legged platforms as staples of field robotics.
