Alexandr Lucas is a Teaching Professor in Robotics at the University of Sheffield's School of Computer Science. He joined in September 2019 and holds roles including Deputy Admissions Tutor (General Engineering) and IPE Tutor. His research focuses on developmental neuro-robotics, cognitive assessment via human-robot interaction, and educational robotics applications. He contributes to courses like COM1005 (Machines and Intelligence) and COM3528 (Cognitive and Biomimetic Robotics), developing teaching materials for MiRo robots and simulators.
Publications include work on cognitive skill assessment using cloud computing and robotic systems, visual finger-counting for neuro-robotics learning, and public perception analysis of robots in urban environments. He co-founded the SERAI Network CIC and maintains active roles in robotics education and outreach.
Lucas has created extensive teaching resources, including guides for MiRoCloud simulation platforms and visual coding tools (MiRoCODE). His work emphasizes practical robotics education and bridging theory with hands-on experiments in undergraduate and postgraduate programs.
