Social robots for engagement in rehabilitative therapies: Design implications from a study with therapists (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In this paper we present the results of a qualitative study with therapists to inform social robotics and human robot interaction (HRI) for engagement in rehabilitative therapies. Our results add to growing evidence that socially assistive robots (SA... Read More about Social robots for engagement in rehabilitative therapies: Design implications from a study with therapists.

Automated monitoring of dairy cow body condition, mobility and weight using a single 3D video capture device (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018 Here we propose a low-cost automated system for the unobtrusive and continuous welfare monitoring of dairy cattle on the farm. We argue that effective and regular monitoring of multiple condition traits is not currently practicable and go on t...

Effect of pH on the activity of platinum group metal-free catalysts in oxygen reduction reaction (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018 American Chemical Society. The impact of the electrolyte's pH on the catalytic activity of platinum group metal-free (PGM-free) catalysts toward the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) was studied. The results indicate that the ORR mechanism is de... Read More about Effect of pH on the activity of platinum group metal-free catalysts in oxygen reduction reaction.
