John Lloyd

Dr. John Lloyd is a Visiting Research Fellow at the University of Bristol's School of Engineering Mathematics and Technology. His research focuses on tactile robotics, sim-to-real learning, and robotic manipulation. Publication analysis reveals consistent themes in tactile perception (2020-2024), including deep reinforcement learning for robotic control, tactile sensor development, and applications in manufacturing and human-robot collaboration.

Recent work emphasizes sim-to-real transfer and bimanual manipulation (2022-2023), while earlier publications established foundational methods for pose-based tactile servoing and defect detection (2020-2021). His collaborations include Prof. Nathan Lepora and Dr. Ben Ward-Cherrier at Bristol.
