Multidimensional benefits of improved sanitation: Evaluating 'PEE POWER®' in Kisoro, Uganda (2020)
Journal Article

With 2.3 billion people around the world lacking adequate sanitation services, attention has turned to alternative service provision models. This study suggests an approach for meeting the sanitation challenge, especially as expressed in Sustainable...

The impact of affective verbal expressions in social robots (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This research investigates whether there is an ethical concern in robots misrepresenting their internal state through speech. Participants were asked to discuss their food preferences with a robot, where the robot would either respond through facts o...

The effect of virtual reality control of a robotic surrogate on presence and social presence in comparison to telecommunications software (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Telecommunication software is often used to tackle social isolation in those with restricted mobility, but lacks high-level interactions found in face-to-face conversation. This study investigated the use of an immersive control system for a robotic...

Dynamic mesh framework for morphing wings CFD - User defined function (2020)
Digital Artefact

This project contains the user-defined functions (UDF) necessary to perform unsteady computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis of dynamically morphing wings equipped with morphing flaps.

There are three UDFs for each of the following application... Read More about Dynamic mesh framework for morphing wings CFD - User defined function.

Speech related accessibility issues in social robots (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This work describes an incidental finding from a longitudinal Human-Robot Interaction study that was investigating whether a robot showing emotions during interactions with older adults was perceived differently than to a robot that did not display e...

Investigating the effectiveness of different interaction modalities for spatial human-robot interaction (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

With the increasing use of social robots in real environments, one of the areas of research requiring more attention is the study of human-robot interaction (HRI) when a person and robot are moving close to each other. Understanding effective ways to... Read More about Investigating the effectiveness of different interaction modalities for spatial human-robot interaction.

"What could possibly go wrong?": Logging HRI data for robot accident investigation (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This abstract presents proposed experimental work to consider what might be required for an 'ethical black box', essentially a robot data recorder, to inform robot accident investigation processes and the implications for HRI.

Immersive control of a robot surrogate for users in palliative care (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Quality of life (QoL) is especially important for palliative care patients, who can be at risk of mental health issues. This project aims to design and implement an immersive control system for a robotic surrogate, that allows users to interact as na...

Simulated pilot-in-the-loop testing of handling qualities of the flexible wing aircraft (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020 The Author(s). Published by VGTU Press. This article aims to indicate the differences between rigid and flexible wing aircraft flying (FQ) and handling (HQ) qualities. The Simulation Framework for Flexible Aircraft was used to provide a generi... Read More about Simulated pilot-in-the-loop testing of handling qualities of the flexible wing aircraft.

Hand gesture recognition in complex background based on convolutional pose machine and fuzzy gaussian mixture models (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020, The Author(s). Hand gesture is one of the most intuitive and natural ways for human to communicate with computers, and it has been widely adopted in many human–computer interaction applications. However, it is still a challenging problem when... Read More about Hand gesture recognition in complex background based on convolutional pose machine and fuzzy gaussian mixture models.
