Genki Miyauchi (宮内源己)

I am a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Sheffield, working on swarm robotics and human-swarm interaction. In particular, I am working on the OpenSwarm project funded by Horizon Europe / Innovate UK, where I focus on developing energy-aware robot swarms.

Prior to this, I obtained my PhD in Automatic Control and Systems Engineering with the Natural Robotics Lab under the supervision of Professor Roderich Groß at ACSE and Sheffield Robotics at the University of Sheffield. My research explored how multiple human users can dynamically share the control of a swarm of robots. My research interests include swarm robotics, multi-robot systems, human-robot interaction and energy-aware systems.
