Owen Nicholson, Head of Growth at In-Part and Head of Operations at Dyson Robotics Lab, Imperial College.
About Owen:
Owen is one of the five co-founders has over a decade of experience in early stage R&D management working on various research portfolios including the UK Special Forces and the Nuclear Submarines Programme. He spent four years building the External Research Programme at Dyson and is now the Head of Operations at the Dyson Robotics Lab. He also holds the position of Head of Growth for IN-PART, a digital start-up specialising in connecting university research to industry’s needs.
About the company:
Slamcore is a recently formed, spin out from the department of Computing at Imperial College. They are developing a series of technologies within the field of Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM). In computer science, SLAM concerns the challenges of taking senor information and creating and updating a map of an unknown environment, while at the same time keeping track of the machine’s position within the same map it is creating.
Slamcore aims to create technological solutions to enable the integration of SLAM into augmented and virtual reality products, as well as autonomous robots.
The company’s core founding team, led by Professor Andrew Davison, Professor of Robot Vision, have combined expertise in wide-ranging aspects of this technology. These include obtaining 3D reconstructions of environments, the use of different kinds of camera systems, and the integration of various sensors in mapping. Prof. Davison has pioneered research in SLAM using vision for more than 20 years.
