Towards fully biodegradable microbial fuel cells (2014)
Book Chapter

Introduction. In order to sustainably protect and manage the environment, a number of challenges need to be addressed, including: (i) the search for new sources of green energy; (ii) improving the efficiency of human waste treatment; and (iii) identi...

Recovering skin reflectance and geometry for diagnosis of melanoma (2013)
Book Chapter

In order to achieve an early detection of skin cancers, various state-of-the-art imaging modalities have been investigated from optical, impedance, biomechanical and physiological perspectives to find out the potential biomarkers. However multilayere... Read More about Recovering skin reflectance and geometry for diagnosis of melanoma.

Toward turing’s A-type unorganised machines in an unconventional substrate: A dynamic representation in compartmentalised excitable chemical media (2013)
Book Chapter

© Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2013. Turing presented a general representation scheme by which to achieve artificial intelligence – unorganised machines. Significantly, these were a form of discrete dynamical system and yet such representations...

Object localisation using active whiskers on underwater autonomous walking robot (2011)
Book Chapter

A low-cost, biologically inspired underwater walking robot (see Fig. 1) has been designed and built to covertly explore the seabed and to determine properties of submerged objects in obscure and inaccessible underwater locations. This paper focuses o... Read More about Object localisation using active whiskers on underwater autonomous walking robot.

Computation with competing patterns in life-like automaton (2010)
Book Chapter

We study a Life-like cellular automaton rule B2/S2345 where a cell in state `0' takes state `1' if it has exactly two neighbors in state `1' and the cell remains in the state `1' if it has between two and five neighbors in state `1.' This automaton i... Read More about Computation with competing patterns in life-like automaton.

Correlating plagiocephaly skull deformations with facial asymmetry using projected pattern 3D imaging (2010)
Book Chapter

In this paper, we present a statistical study into skull deformations caused by positional plagiocephaly. We also consider the hardware used for the assessment of both severity and treatment. State-of-the-art external imaging hardware is employed to... Read More about Correlating plagiocephaly skull deformations with facial asymmetry using projected pattern 3D imaging.

Reaction-diffusion controllers for robots (2009)
Book Chapter

Excitable systems, particularly spatially extended media, exhibit a wide variety of travelling patterns and different modes of interaction. The Belousov-Zhabo-tinsky [1] (BZ) reaction is the most well known and extensively studied example of non-line... Read More about Reaction-diffusion controllers for robots.

Service robots ethics (2009)
Book Chapter

The area of robotics is moving from its traditional roots in the industrial sector as the
entire robotic community is keen to develop new types of robots for new environments. This change is emphasis is being driven by many factors and it is now wi... Read More about Service robots ethics.

Developments in vocabulary standardisation for robots and robot devices (2009)
Book Chapter

With the emergence of mobile robots, including service robots for use in public, domestic and industrial environments, a more comprehensive standard to cover the new robots and associated technologies is needed. New scopes of the robots applications... Read More about Developments in vocabulary standardisation for robots and robot devices.

Computation by competing patterns: life rule B2/S2345678 (2008)
Book Chapter

Patterns, originating from different sources of perturbations, propagating in a precipitating chemical medium do usually compete for the space. They sub-divide the medium onto the regions unique for an initial configuration of disturbances. This sub-... Read More about Computation by competing patterns: life rule B2/S2345678.
