Towards empathy in computational design: Co-design and semantic metrics (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Today , computation design has provoked new theoretical frameworks on the systemic design processes (Derix & Izaki 2014). It is acknowledged that individuals possess varying "emotional intelligent quotients" at various levels. Indeed, Baron-Cohen and...

Embedded intelligent empathy: A systematic review towards a conceptual framework (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper is part of a feasibility project aiming to expand computational design processes to include design empathy. The project is in response to recent valid criticism of computational design overlooking the empathy of the designer. Computational...

The limits of Intellectual Property: Exhaustion of rights, international trademarks and digital copyright (2021)
Preprint / Working Paper

Strong Intellectual Property (IP) protection is a fundamental point in the establishment of a market for new products and services. IP can give significant power to the owner of intangible assets in financing, manufacturing or in general commercial t...

Toward privacy-sensitive human-robot interaction: Privacy terms and human-data interaction in the personal robot era (2020)
Journal Article

Can we have personal robots without giving away personal data? Besides, what is the role of a robots Privacy Policy in that question? This work explores for the first time privacy in the context of consumer robotics through the lens of information co...

Human-data interaction and user rights at the personal robot era (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In this paper, we explore issues related to privacy, data protection, and Intellectual Property rights around personal and collaborative robots. This is a discussion on personal and non-personal data in the context of robot privacy, specifically focu... Read More about Human-data interaction and user rights at the personal robot era.

The Dibber: Designing a standardised handheld tool for lay-up tasks (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 We present an application of engineering and ergonomics principles in the design of a standardised tool, The Dibber, which is a tool with multiple geometric features to fit the diversity of lay-up tasks used in the composites industry. The Dib... Read More about The Dibber: Designing a standardised handheld tool for lay-up tasks.

Exploring the discrete tools used by laminators in composites manufacturing: application of novel concept (2015)
Journal Article

© 2016, © 2016 The Author(s). Published by Taylor & Francis. This research investigates the handheld and often personally owned tools used by laminators to form advanced composites into components for aerospace, defense, and autosport; and reports...

Exploring the significance of in-process knowledge to composites design and production (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This work is an initial attempt to explore how knowledge generated during the fabrication of advanced composite components is relevant to their design and production. Despite their high performance applications their manufacture often relies on a man... Read More about Exploring the significance of in-process knowledge to composites design and production.

From composite material technologies to composite products: A cross-sectorial reflection on technology transitions and production capability (2015)
Journal Article

Materials, since the dawn of time, have played a crucial role in the development of civilization. Pre-history ages are fundamentally characterized by the material humans mastered, while the transitions to new materials have always marked a different...
