The Autonomous Motion Systems (AMoS) is the robotics research cluster of the Artificial Intelligence Innovation Centre, focused on developing the mathematical and engineering foundations needed to make unmanned aerial vehicles, such as multirotor drones, robotic arms, humanoids, quadrupeds and wheeled robots, behave reliably and safely in the real world. We are joined by Dr Afraz Subratti and Cade Coker, the Co-Investigators of AMoS to discuss, among other things:

* some of the projects AMoS is focusing on;

* how public trust can be developed to help robots and other advanced machines to be integrated into Caribbean life; and

* the most important skills a student or budding engineer should develop if they want to pursue research or a career in robotics.
