Autonomous control laws for mobile robotic surveillance swarms (2009)
Presentation / Conference
Mullen, R., Monekosso, D., Barman, S., & Paolo, R. (2009, December). Autonomous control laws for mobile robotic surveillance swarms. Paper presented at IEEE Symposium: Computational Intelligence for Security and Defence Applications (CISDA), Ottawa, Canada

We investigate the use of artificial local forces governed by physics laws for the spatial formation and coordination of a swarm of VTOL UAVs for ground area surveillance applications. Varying parameter effects are investigated through simulation and... Read More about Autonomous control laws for mobile robotic surveillance swarms.

The disempowerment of empowerment: How stakeholding clogs up rural decision-making (2009)
Journal Article
Curry, N. (2009). The disempowerment of empowerment: How stakeholding clogs up rural decision-making. Space and Polity, 13(3), 213-232. https://doi.org/10.1080/13562570903454309

In the context of a growth in both participatory democracy and responsible participation, rural decision-making in England has become increasingly complex over the past 30 years, fuelled by national polices relating to regionalism, citizenship and re...

An investigation of the aerodynamic admittances and aerodynamic weighting functions of trains (2009)
Journal Article
Sterling, M., Baker, C., Bouferrouk, A., ONeil, H., Wood, S., & Crosbie, E. (2009). An investigation of the aerodynamic admittances and aerodynamic weighting functions of trains. Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics, 97(11-12), 512-522. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jweia.2009.07.009

Increasing train speeds combined with the predicted reduction in the weight of new trains ensure that the effect of crosswinds on train stability is of continued interest to the rail industry. Changes in the approaching wind velocity can in turn lead... Read More about An investigation of the aerodynamic admittances and aerodynamic weighting functions of trains.

Synthetic training data generation for activity monitoring and behavior analysis (2009)
Journal Article
