I translate clinical anatomy and joint mechanics into verification-ready humanoid robotics specifications.
What I'm looking for
At Clone Robotics, I translate clinical anatomy and joint mechanics into biomechanical specifications for humanoid robotics, including range-of-motion targets, clearance requirements and posture considerations.
I develop verification approaches for human-like movement and functional behaviour, and produce technical documentation that connects anatomical rationale, design methods and research findings for cross-functional teams.
Previously, I managed the Surgical Wet Skills Laboratory and National Tissue Bank at the University of Pretoria, coordinating surgical training, specimen preparation, whole-body donation processes, SOPs, ethics and laboratory operations.
