Co-creation in citizen science: Sharing learnings and good practice from an indoor, airborne microplastics project (2025)
Journal Article

HOMEs was a citizen science exploratory project, aimed at investigating the presence of airborne microplastics in people's homes. Participants placed passive samplers in their homes, using low-cost microscopes to see and take pictures of their sample...

Evaluating the interaction between human and paediatric robotic lower-limb exoskeleton: A model-based method (2025)
Journal Article

Lower-limb exoskeletons (LLEs) have shown potential in improving motor function in patients for both clinical rehabilitation and daily life. Despite this, the development and control of pediatric exoskeletons remain notably underserved. This study fo...

Total least squares algorithm for errors-in-variables systems: Iterative algorithm or two-step algorithm (2025)
Journal Article

The total least squares (TLS) algorithm is a superior identification tool for low-order errors-in-variables (EIV) systems, where the estimate can be obtained by solving an eigenvector of the minimum eigenvalue of an augmented matrix. However, the TLS... Read More about Total least squares algorithm for errors-in-variables systems: Iterative algorithm or two-step algorithm.

Empowering road safety practitioners in fatigue management: Informed development of an online learning resource (2025)
Journal Article

Driver fatigue is a safety concern as sleepy drivers are more likely to crash than alert drivers. Evidence-based fatigue management programs implement mitigation strategies aimed at reducing the risk of driver fatigue. However, there is a high barrie...

Bio-inspired prosthetic knee joint with pressure sensor-controlled actuation for enhanced human-robot interaction (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The advancement of prosthetics has empowered above-knee amputees to engage in daily activities with minimal disruption. This paper presents the design of a bio-inspired knee joint for prosthetic applications, integrating force-sensitive resistors (FS...

Evaluation and design recommendations for a folding morphing-wheg robot for nuclear characterisation (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper explores the design and development of a folding robot required to survey and characterize nuclear facilities only accessible via 150 mm diameter entry ducts. The enclosed legacy facilities at old nuclear sites like Sellafield in the UK ha...

Linear modeling of the ankle joint during walking as mechanical impedance for exoskeletons control and gait analysis (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Ankle exoskeletons controllers use mathematical models and sensors to calculate the kinematics and kinetics of the ankle, to ensure safe transitions. This paper presents the parameterization and validation of a linear model of the ankle joint for a h...
