Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatthew Howard is a robotics and AI engineer, founder and CEO with over 14 years of hands-on experience translating advanced machine learning and control research into deployed systems across agriculture, manufacturing, automotive and heavy industry. He began with a Honda-sponsored PhD on imitation learning for ASIMO and has since led work in imitation and reinforcement learning, stochastic optimal control, terrain-adaptive locomotion and variable-impedance actuation—bridging sensing, AI, control and mechatronics to solve real-world problems. As Reader in Engineering at King’s College London and Associate VP at IEEE RAS, he combines academic leadership with industry collaboration and a track record of taking prototypes to fielded solutions. He has pioneered novel sensing and actuation including textile wearables and soft grippers, and brings particular depth in behaviour transfer across systems with heterogeneous dynamics. Based in England, he balances rigorous research instincts with entrepreneurial focus, now scaling those innovations through his startup, The Weird Gripper Company.
