Origin, study, TEDx, and return.
For future readers who want the human route: Plymouth, the early bio, the bench, the thesis years, TEDx, and the later move toward Tao.
Open the origin routeArchive
One site, one evolution.
The archive keeps the recovered footprint open: origin, robotics, TEDx, astronomy, Tao, and selected side rooms from the older site.
Reader routes
Three ways through the old material.
The archive is open, but it reads better when entered through a clear path.
ESA, iCub, Aquila, CUDA, NVIDIA.
For readers following the research: rover simulation, active vision, action-language learning, GPU acceleration, papers, talks, and source files.
Open the research routeAstronomy, cameras, coordinates, Tao.
For the line that leads from looking carefully at the sky and cameras to mapped space, land, water, paths, and care.
Open the observation routeEvolution index
The old website is organized by what it became.
The earlier site was a working notebook: research updates, lab releases, conference notes, astronomy posts, videos, and personal transitions. The public archive now groups those materials by period, so the old record strengthens the current site instead of becoming a separate blog.
Study, Plymouth, thesis, and public speaking.
Older biography, study, NVIDIA, PhD, and TEDx notes are carried forward as a coherent personal arc on Story and Talks.
ESA rover work, iCub, Aquila, CUDA, and NVIDIA.
The strongest technical posts become archive-backed case notes: rover simulation, active vision, iCub action-language learning, Aquila releases, early GPU robotics, CUDA teaching, NVIDIA HQ, GTC, and the Science Museum trace.
Camera-as-computer prototypes and edge AI.
Old edge-camera blog links now point back to the AI cameras / applied vision work: camera prototypes, mobile inference, synthetic data, and practical cameras under real constraints.
Astronomy, public observing, cameras, and coordinates.
A small astronomy cluster remains because it belongs to the same deeper line: looking carefully, using optics, locating things in space, and sharing curiosity in public.
Place-scale work, land, water, paths, and care.
Project Tao is represented through public documentary images and films: the transformation of a place, the rhythm of land and water, and the continuity of a life built around physical systems.
Stable paths
Old links now return to useful places.
These routes preserve the main technical areas without mirroring every old note. Each one connects to current work, sources, or videos.
Aquila Toolkit
GPU-accelerated cognitive robotics tooling around iCub research, modular CPU-GPU systems, and neural-network experimentation.
Open Aquila pageMars Rover Simulator
Open-source simulator and ESA autonomous rover research around simulation, active vision, and island-model optimization.
Open rover pageCUDA Thread Indexing Explained
A preserved technical note for developers who still find the old CUDA indexing article through outside citations.
Open CUDA noteAI cameras / applied vision
Older edge-camera links now resolve into the current AI cameras page: camera hardware, edge inference, synthetic worlds, and deployment constraints.
Open AI cameras pageCurated writing
The legacy posts are preserved by role, not by bulk.
Most old posts were short updates. The strongest pieces now sit first, with the wider title register kept searchable for continuity.
Rover simulation, active vision, and ESA.
Selected posts from this period now form the rover archive: final-year research, adaptive sensing, active vision, Mars rover simulation, ESA collaboration, island-model control, best-paper recognition, and the ESA robotics lab visit.
Aquila, iCub, and cognitive robotics tooling.
The useful thread is the release and demo history: Aquila manuals, early versions, MTRNN on iCub, Kinect teleoperation, Aquila 2.0, iCub action-language work, and the Science Museum London trace.
NVIDIA, CUDA, and early GPU robotics.
The old NVIDIA and CUDA posts sit together: GPU-enabled lab servers, PhD research, the Santa Clara HQ presentation, GTC Express, GPUs in cognitive robotics, multi-GPU learning, CUDA indexing, the CUDA Teaching Center, GTC 2014, and later NVIDIA features.
Astronomy and public sky work.
The astronomy posts are kept as curiosity and public outreach: the telescope group, Plymouth Hoe telescope night, Astroimages, Jupiter and Io, M13, the Ring Nebula, the Orion Nebula, the Crab Nebula, the Crescent Moon, the Whirlpool Galaxy, and amateur astrophotography videos.
Story, thesis, and public speaking.
The older biography, Plymouth interview, California/NVIDIA update, PhD submission, TEDx experience, TEDx video, and later Second Home article now live as a clean personal arc rather than restored old posts.
Sources
What has been carried forward.
The public archive now keeps the strongest source materials in accessible places: PDFs on Sources, images on Milestones and Work, and videos on Talks.
Research papers, posters, and talk files.
Local archive copies include ESA rover papers, active-vision slides, Aquila/iCub papers, the GTC 2012 poster, GTC Express slides, and the Robotika 2011 talk page.
Open archive PDFsiCub, ESA, NVIDIA, TEDx, and astronomy objects.
The selected photographs now preserve the public visual line: iCub lab work, Science Museum, ESA rover collaboration, NVIDIA HQ and GTC, Jensen Huang, TEDx, Slovak press, and Plymouth Hoe astronomy.
Open selected milestonesRobotics demos, talks, cameras, Tao, and the sky.
The Talks page carries the videos that still matter: TEDx, iCub action-language, rover simulation, Aquila, NVIDIA keynote mention, AI cameras / applied vision, spatial work, Tao, and amateur astrophotography.

Preserved locally, presented clearly.
The raw archive remains preserved, while the public site carries the material that makes the life and work legible.
