Investigation of patterned and non-patterned poly(2,6-dimethyl 1,4-phenylene) oxide based anion exchange membranes for enhanced desalination and power generation in a microbial desalination cell (2018)
Journal Article

© 2017 The Authors Quaternary ammonium poly(2,6-dimethyl 1,4-phenylene oxide) (QAPPO) anion exchange membranes (AEMs) with topographically patterned surfaces were assessed in a microbial desalination cell (MDC) system. The MDC results with these QAPP...

Personalized robot assistant for support in dressing (2018)
Journal Article

Robot-assisted dressing is performed in close physical interaction with users who may have a wide range of physical characteristics and abilities. Design of user adaptive and personalized robots in this context is still indicating limited, or no cons... Read More about Personalized robot assistant for support in dressing.

A two teraflop swarm (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018 Jones, Studley, Hauert and Winfield. We introduce the Xpuck swarm, a research platform with an aggregate raw processing power in excess of two teraflops. The swarm uses 16 e-puck robots augmented with custom hardware that uses the substantial... Read More about A two teraflop swarm.

Research on intelligent controller design for MIMO spatially -Distributed systems with applications (2018)
Thesis

Spatially dynamic distributed systems have been attracting increasing attention from researchers in the field of system modelling and control since their introduction as an alternative to simple systems to meet the ever-greater requirements to make i...
