Darwin Caldwell
Darwin Caldwell, Professor of Advanced Robotics at the University of Salford, UK, holding an umbrella over a robotic gorilla he co-created. Professor Caldwell has carried out research in many areas of robotics including telepresence, robotic manipulators, bipedal robot walking, virtual reality applications and actuator (movement-producing) systems. The gorilla robot uses pneumatic muscle actuators (contracting tubes with some of the advantages of natural muscles). These allow it to make precise movements, while still providing a high power-to-weight ratio (the robot weighs less than 10kg). Photographed in 2002

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, Professor Darwin Caldwell, a renowned expert in advanced robotics at the University of Salford, UK, stands proudly beside his remarkable creation - a robotic gorilla. With an umbrella shielding both himself and the lifelike android from the elements, Professor Caldwell showcases his groundbreaking research in various areas of robotics. Throughout his illustrious career, Professor Caldwell has delved into diverse fields such as telepresence technology, virtual reality applications, bipedal robot walking, and robotic manipulators. His expertise also extends to actuator systems that enable precise movements while maintaining an impressive power-to-weight ratio. Photographed in 2002 against a backdrop of technological innovation and scientific exploration, this image captures the essence of Professor Caldwell's pioneering work. The pneumatic muscle actuators employed by his gorilla prototype mimic natural muscles' contracting tubes with unparalleled precision. Weighing less than 10kg but possessing incredible capabilities thanks to these cutting-edge advancements. Professor Darwin Caldwell's contribution to the field of robotics is truly exceptional. As an esteemed scientist and researcher hailing from England's prestigious University of Salford, he continues to push boundaries and redefine what is possible within humanoid robotics. This portrait serves as a testament to his unwavering dedication and passion for exploring new frontiers in hi-tech engineering.
