Welcome to Patrick's corner

I've been a software engineer for 15 years. I've worked in a range of industries, from emergency services to the cinema, and on projects where software shipped directly customers or to internal development teams.

I'm interested in designing and building autonomous mobile robots with four-wheel independent steering (also known as a swerve drive). The prototype has ROS2 code for robot description, the Gazebo world and the steering controller. I've also contributed a significant amount of the ROS code for the SCUTTLE robot.

Other interests include:

  • All kinds of autonomous mobile robots
  • Electronics
  • Computer Aided Design (Rhino3d, Fusion360, AutoCAD)
  • Rock climbing
  • Gardening
  • Woodworking
