Speech and Gesture Emphasis Effects for Robotic and Human Communicators: A Direct Comparison (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© 2015 ACM. Emphasis, by means of either pitch accents or beat gestures (rhythmic co-verbal gestures with no semantic meaning), has been shown to serve two main purposes in human communication: syntactic disambiguation and salience. To use beat gestu... Read More about Speech and Gesture Emphasis Effects for Robotic and Human Communicators: A Direct Comparison.

Physarum polycephalum: Towards a biological controller (2015)
Journal Article

© 2014 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. Microbial fuels cells (MFCs) are bio-electrochemical transducers that generate energy from the metabolism of electro-active microorganisms. The organism Physarum polycephalum is a slime mould, which has demonstrated many... Read More about Physarum polycephalum: Towards a biological controller.

An artificial immune system for self-healing in swarm robotic systems (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2015. Swarm robotics is concerned with the decentralised coordination of multiple robots having only limited communication and interaction abilities. Although fault tolerance and robustness to individua... Read More about An artificial immune system for self-healing in swarm robotic systems.

Microbial fuel cells continuously fuelled by untreated fresh algal biomass (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015. Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are energy transducers that convert organic matter directly into electricity, via the anaerobic respiration of electro-active microorganisms. An avenue of research in this field is to employ algae as the organic c... Read More about Microbial fuel cells continuously fuelled by untreated fresh algal biomass.

Measuring the local viscosity and velocity of fluids using a biomimetic tactile whisker (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2015. A novel technique for determining the relative visco-density of fluids using an actuated flexible beam inspired by the tactile whiskers of marine mammals is presented. This was developed for the i...
