Adam Morgan
Robotics Engineer & AI Specialist
I work across the full spectrum of engineering — from programming industrial robots and developing AI systems to building web applications and 3D printing prototypes. My clients and collaborators range from university research teams to businesses looking to automate processes or integrate AI into their workflows.
What sets my work apart is the combination of academic research and practical engineering. With a Masters in Robotics, 5 published papers, and hands-on experience with 10+ robot platforms, I bring research-grade rigour to real-world problems. My IT background means I also understand the infrastructure side — networking, servers, security — not just the application layer.
Currently I'm a Tutor in Robotics at Swansea University's Mechanical Engineering Department, where I coordinate digital manufacturing modules and manage the robotics lab. Alongside teaching, I continue active research in robot sensor integration and advanced manufacturing, and take on consulting and development projects.
