From ideas
to working
systems.

I’m a Robotics and Spatial Computing Engineer. I build robots, digital twins and immersive experiences for learning and industry.

01 / Portfolio

Projects.

From first prototypes to virtual worlds. A selection of my own research and work developed with teams.

Afrometry

Industrial asset-intelligence demos connecting spatial records, inspection findings and engineering information.

02 / Capabilities

What I build.

I work across hardware, software and spatial experiences—connecting the parts that make an idea work.

01

Robotics & AI

Robot design, embedded integration and prototyping. From mechanical assemblies and sensors to ROS 2 workflows, navigation and teleoperation.

02

Simulation & digital twins

Virtual testbeds that make systems easier to understand and develop. Physics, sensors and robot control in Isaac Sim and Gazebo; reality-captured environments and asset-information demos.

03

Spatial computing & XR

Interactive training prototypes, conversational VR and design-review experiences. Built with Unreal Engine, with practical activities and approachable interactions at the centre.

04

Design & visualisation

Product animations, 360 tours and 3D reconstruction. I also plan and establish labs around the workflows of the people who will use them.

04 / The person behind the work

I’m Timothy.
This is Stress Robotics.

Stress Robotics is how I share what I build, explore and learn. My work moves between robotics, simulation and spatial computing, with a focus on practical tools for learning and industry.

I’ve established and led product design, simulation and robotics labs, developed award-winning VR work, and built platforms for hands-on experimentation.
