What this episode covers

Robert Richardson, Professor of Robotics at the University of Leeds and Innovation Director at Acuity Robotics, discusses designing robot bodies for infrastructure repair and 3D printing applications. He details the development of 'Squirrel' robots for climbing vertical structures, drone-based asphalt repair systems, and swarm robots for sewer inspection. Richardson also recounts the 2011 expedition to the Great Pyramid of Giza, where his team deployed a lightweight inchworm robot to discover ancient graffiti.
