Carl Strathearn

Research Fellow

Biography Carl Strathearn is a research fellow at the School of Computing at Edinburgh Napier University. He has a first-class B.A (Hons) in Multimedia Design (AI Pathway), an MRES with distinction in advanced animatronics from The University of Huddersfield and a PhD in AI and Humanoid Robotics from Staffordshire University.

Carl is interested in developing realistic humanoid robots and AI systems that emulate the human condition. His recent research in developing a ‘Multimodal Turing Test for Realistic Humanoid Robots’ was published in; The Guardian, Yahoo News, Futurism, Horizon, The World Economic Forum and debated numerous times on BBC Radio. Carl is interested in the design (3D CAD), engineering (3D printing and CNC machining) and programming of robotic systems that operate in real world environments. He believes that creating realistic humanoid robots is significant to humanity as the human face is the most natural interface for conducing face-to-face communication and the human form the most effective design for traversing the man-made areas of the planet. He is currently a post-doc working on a project entitled ‘CiViL: Common-sense and Visually enhanced natural Language generation'.
