From single MFC to cascade configuration: The relationship between size, hydraulic retention time and power density (2016)
Journal Article

© 2016 The Authors. Achieving useful electrical power production with the MFC technology requires a plurality of units. Therefore, the main objective of much of the MFC research is to increase the power density of each unit. Collectives of MFCs will...

Cycling has the potential to offer significant health benefits to disabled p... Read More about Cycling and disability: A review.

Adaptive foraging for simulated and real robotic swarms: The dynamical response threshold approach (2016)
Journal Article

Developing self-organised swarm systems capable of adapting to environmental changes as well as to dynamic situations is a complex challenge. An efficient labour division model, with the ability to regulate the distribution of work among swarm robots...
