Biography

 N’zebo Richard Anvo is an automation and robotics industrial research fellow at Costain Group, working on the Digital Roads project. After receiving his first BEng in Electrical & Electronics at London South Bank University, he received an industrial sponsor for his PhD in Robotics and Non-destructive Testing at London South Bank University. His research interest focuses on robotic maintenance and repair alongside networked embedded sensing and control. He has extensive knowledge and experience in the development of robotic systems that can explore and manipulate objects in extreme environments coupled with the development of complex control systems for mobile robots for in-service inspection and non-destructive testing. Richard’s research tallies the reduction of carbon footprint and is cost-effective with data-driven robotic maintenance and repair.
