Robotics

Charlie has a long relationship with the cutting edge of technology. He started his career as a developer of viral games for movies, developing games for Shrek 2, Van Helsing, and The Hulk among others.

After developing the first internationally successful magic act with lots of iPads he started experimenting a lot with robotics and mechanical solutions. This led up to his first show with lots of robots called Robotricks.

After many years of working with robots on stage, Charlie started working with world-leading social robotics company Furhat Robotics. After having started out as an Interactions Developer, he became the CCO (Chief Creative Officer) of Furhat Robotics where he worked at the intersection of robotics, artificial intelligence, psychology and expression. He did a lot of work integrating the robot with early large language models.

He is also an expert in using artificial intelligence in interesting ways as well as developing integrations with large language models into other systems. He has worked professionally with OpenAI’s models since GPT-2, more than a year before ChatGPT came out.

He has been a keynote speaker on the subject of AI and robotics at Web Summit, Sime, and Advanced Engineering.
