Summary
Elizabeth Stone is a software engineer and robotics researcher with a decade of experience applying machine learning and perception to field and service robots. Holding a PhD in Robotics and Autonomous Systems from Bristol Robotics Laboratory and a first-class BSc in Space Science and Robotics, she blends rigorous academic research with practical engineering. Her recent roles bridge industry and knowledge transfer—moving from machine learning work and content roles at Taught By Humans to an accelerated research post at the University of the West of England and now software engineering at Renishaw. She’s passionate about bringing autonomy and intelligence into physical systems, especially field robots that operate in challenging environments. Known for translating research prototypes into robust software, she combines sensor-driven perception, ML models, and systems engineering to deliver deployable solutions. Based in Greater Bristol, she’s actively seeking research engineer roles that fuse perception, autonomy and real-world deployment.
