Spoke at a Lenovo event by myself for 12 minutes and then on a panel with Ashton Kutcher. Met with Hollywood’s Steve Jobs and had a yarn about robots, AI, VR, AR and bionic people! (Why stop at 20/20 vision?)

Spoke at MIT's conference in Singapore, EmTech. Other speakers in my session spoke about autonomous robotic cargo ships, advances in drones and studying nature to make a single robot that can both roll down inclines and walk along flat surfaces!
How amazing are the gardens in Singapore? When I'm surrounded by beautiful nature like this, I love getting my notebook out and writing copious notes and plans.
... And the gardens are just as spectacular in the evening! It's like the movie Avatar!

Spent the entire Sunday working in the garage with Garth Bradbeer and Tom Cooper working on a robotic prototype. We worked until 1am that night, and many nights before and after... and we achieved our goal for the year! :)

I was awarded the Global Engineering Deans Council (GEDC) Diversity Award for my work with Robogals. It was sponsored by Airbus. Here is a photo of me accepting the award from Airbus 380's Executive Vice President Engineering, Charles Champion, and Global Engineering Deans Council Chair, Professor John Beynon.
This article by the Courier Mail does a very good job of entertainingly summarising the Award.
Following that, I spoke at the World Engineering Education Forum, hosted by GEDC, alongside my fellow finalists for the Award.

Playing with robots in the office with Kyle van Dordrecht. We timed ourselves putting a robotics kit together... then we modified the kit.
