Myra S. Wilson is a British computer scientist. She is a senior lecturer in computer science at Aberystwyth University, Wales.{{cite web|url=http://users.aber.ac.uk/mxw/|title=Dr. Myra Wilson|website=users.aber.ac.uk}} Her research interests are in the broad area of robotics, and she also teaches in the field.
Education and research
Myra S. Wilson received the B.Sc. degree from Aberdeen University, Aberdeen, U.K., and the Ph.D. degree in computer science from the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, UK.{{Cite journal |last1=Walker |first1=J.H. |last2=Garrett |first2=S.M. |last3=Wilson |first3=M.S. |date=2006 |title=The balance between initial training and lifelong adaptation in evolving robot controllers |url=https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/1605388/authors#authors |journal=IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics - Part B: Cybernetics |volume=36 |issue=2 |pages=423–432 |doi=10.1109/TSMCB.2005.859082 |pmid=16602601 |s2cid=504937 |issn=1941-0492|url-access=subscription }}
She heads the Intelligent Robotics Group, as well as the Biologically Inspired Robotics Network (biro-net). Her interests include adaptive robotics and biologically inspired systems.
Media work
She was a judge on the BBC television robot combat programme Robot Wars for the fourth and fifth series in 2000–2001.{{cite web|url=http://users.aber.ac.uk/mxw/robotwars/robotwars.html|title=RobotWars|website=users.aber.ac.uk}}
