A group of people in overalls holding hard hats, squinting into the sun.  Most of the overalls are bright orange.  I am at the front.  We are standing in front of a building signed Jacobs 210 C Technology and Innovation Centre.

There is a genre of research project photos that could be categorised as "PDRAs in Hard Hats". There is, in fact, only one PDRA in the above image and none of us are actually wearing our hard hats, but still. This was in aid of a new "Prosperity Partnership" project, Centre for Robotic Autonomy in Demanding and Long-lasting Environments (CRADLE) with a company called Jacobs. It will pay for a bunch of PhD students and a smattering of PDRAs looking at deployment of autonomous robotics. I'm leading the work package on Assurance.

This is us visiting Jacobs where the engineers were very excited by all their test environments. It was pretty cool but, sadly, I don't think I will have much to do with setting robots loose in them.
