Brendan is a research scientist in the autonomy team at CSIRO Data61’s Robotics and Autonomous Systems Group. He completed a Bachelor of Mechatronics at Queensland Univesity of Technology (QUT) in 2017 and submitted his PhD thesis on learning visuo-motor behaviours for traversing difficult terrain in 2022. Brendan joined CSIRO as a robot technician in 2018 at the commencement of the DARPA Subterranean Challenge, and was a human supervisor at the Urban and Cave circuits in 2020, and at the Final Event in the Louisville Mega Cavern in 2021 where Team CSIRO Data61 tied for first place (second place awarded after tie break rule) and secured $1 million USD for Australian robotics. Brendan’s interests are in applying machine learning for developing behaviours for complex dynamic robots, including legged platforms and robotic arms.
