Dr John Oyeko

What would you take with you if you were starting your robotics journey all over again? Which moments changed the direction of your career? Who inspired you, challenged you, or made you believe you belonged in this field? I'm Dr John Oyeko, and this is the 'Human Stories Behind the Robots,' a new podcast from the UK RAS network inspired by the idea that every career in robotics has a story behind it. 

In each episode, I sit down with leading researchers, engineers, founders, and innovators to explore the journeys behind the technology they have developed, to look at their turning points, the setbacks, their ambitions, and the defining moments that shaped who they are today. 

From academia to industry, from the first technology breakthroughs to unexpected failures, these are the conversations we rarely hear about, but they often matter the most. So join me as we uncover the human stories behind the robots.
