Admittance-based controller design for physical human-robot interaction in the constrained task space (2020)
Journal Article

In this article, an admittance-based controller for physical human-robot interaction (pHRI) is presented to perform the coordinated operation in the constrained task space. An admittance model and a soft saturation function are employed to generate a...

Mutual shaping in swarm robotics: User studies in fire and rescue, storage organization, and bridge inspection (2020)
Journal Article

Many real-world applications have been suggested in the swarm robotics literature. However, there is a general lack of understanding of what needs to be done for robot swarms to be useful and trusted by users in reality. This paper aims to investigat...

Surface flow modification of aerofoils for automotive racing car applications (2020)
Journal Article

An aerofoil commonly used in aerospace engineering to produce lift is also employed in the motor sport industry to produce downforce for improving traction during cornering. This paper investigates aerofoil surface modification through 'golf ball dim... Read More about Surface flow modification of aerofoils for automotive racing car applications.

Genetic and phenotypic associations between root architecture, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi colonisation and low phosphate tolerance in strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) (2020)
Journal Article

Background: Phosphate is an essential plant macronutrient required to achieve maximum crop yield. Roots are able to uptake soil phosphate from the immediate root area, thus creating a nutrient depletion zone. Many plants are able to exploit phosphate...

A method of motion recognition based on electromyographic signals (2020)
Journal Article

In a robot-assisted surgery, a skillful surgeon can perform the operation excellently through flexible wrist motions and rich experience. However, there are little researches about the relationship between the wrist motion and electromyography (EMG)... Read More about A method of motion recognition based on electromyographic signals.

Exploring adaptive behavior of non-linear hexagonal frameworks (2020)
Journal Article

© Copyright © 2020 O'Donnell, Towes, Groh and Chenchiah. Non-linear structural responses offer a rich design space that can be integrated into the development of novel (meta)-materials to enable transformative capabilities. By exploiting robust, repe...

A comparative study on glass and carbon fibre reinforced laminated composites in scaled quasi-static indentation tests (2020)
Journal Article

This paper investigates the effect of fibre properties of composite structures on the mechanical performance and formation of low-velocity impact damage. Quasi-static indentation tests were conducted on a comprehensive set of scaled Quasi Isotropic (...

Manometry performed at indwelling pleural catheter insertion to predict unexpandable lung (2020)
Journal Article

Background: The finding of unexpandable lung (UL) at an early timepoint is of increasing importance in guiding treatment decisions in patients with malignant pleural effusion (MPE). Pleural manometry is the most common technique to delineate UL, howe... Read More about Manometry performed at indwelling pleural catheter insertion to predict unexpandable lung.

Examining profiles for robotic risk assessment: Does a robot's approach to risk affect user trust? (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© 2020 Association for Computing Machinery. As autonomous robots move towards ubiquity, the need for robots to make decisions under risk that are trustworthy becomes increasingly significant; both to aid acceptance and to fully utilise their autonomo...

Electroosmotically generated disinfectant from urine as a by-product of electricity in microbial fuel cell for the inactivation of pathogenic species (2020)
Journal Article

This work presents a small scale and low cost ceramic based microbial fuel cell, utilising human urine into electricity, while producing clean catholyte into an initially empty cathode chamber through the process of electro-osmostic drag. It is the f... Read More about Electroosmotically generated disinfectant from urine as a by-product of electricity in microbial fuel cell for the inactivation of pathogenic species.
