About
Dr Carl Strathearn designs and builds autonomous humanoid robots with AI that appear, function and interact like humans.
I am interested in television and radio opportunities as a commentator and expert on humanoid robotics and artificial intelligence.

Mission
Creating lifelike humanoid robots is important as the human face is the most natural interface for communication and learning. By emulating these conditions we allow a broader range of people from different backgrounds and abilities to use AI technologies effectively
