Hear here: Sonification as a design strategy for robot teleoperation using virtual reality (2023)
Conference Proceeding
Simmons, J., Bown, A., Bremner, P., McIntosh, V., & Mitchell, T. J. (2023). Hear here: Sonification as a design strategy for robot teleoperation using virtual reality.

This paper introduces a novel methodology for the sonification of data, and shares the results of a usability study, putting the method- ology into practice within an industrial use case. Working with partners at Sellafield nuclear facility, we explo... Read More about Hear here: Sonification as a design strategy for robot teleoperation using virtual reality.

The impact of data sonification in virtual reality robot teleoperation (2022)
Journal Article
Bremner, P., Mitchell, T. J., & McIntosh, V. (2022). The impact of data sonification in virtual reality robot teleoperation. Frontiers in Virtual Reality, 3, 904720. https://doi.org/10.3389/frvir.2022.904720

Virtual Reality (VR) is being increasingly used to provide a more intuitive and embodied approach to robotic teleoperation, giving operators a sense of presence in the remote environment. Prior research has shown that presence can be enhanced when ad... Read More about The impact of data sonification in virtual reality robot teleoperation.

Immersive control of a robot surrogate for users in palliative care (2020)
Conference Proceeding
Mackey, B. A., Bremner, P. A., & Giuliani, M. (2020). Immersive control of a robot surrogate for users in palliative care. In Companion of the 2020 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction (HRI '20 Companion) (585-587). https://doi.org/10.1145/3371382.3377445

Quality of life (QoL) is especially important for palliative care patients, who can be at risk of mental health issues. This project aims to design and implement an immersive control system for a robotic surrogate, that allows users to interact as na...

The effect of virtual reality control of a robotic surrogate on presence and social presence in comparison to telecommunications software (2020)
Conference Proceeding
Mackey, B. A., Bremner, P. A., & Giuliani, M. (2020). The effect of virtual reality control of a robotic surrogate on presence and social presence in comparison to telecommunications software. In Companion of the 2020 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction (HRI '20 Companion) (349-351). https://doi.org/10.1145/3371382.3378268

Telecommunication software is often used to tackle social isolation in those with restricted mobility, but lacks high-level interactions found in face-to-face conversation. This study investigated the use of an immersive control system for a robotic...

SABRE: A bio-inspired fault-tolerant electronic architecture (2013)
Journal Article
Pipe, A. G., Dragffy, G., Samie, M., Liu, Y., Bremner, P., Bremner, P., …Tyrrell, A. M. (2013). SABRE: A bio-inspired fault-tolerant electronic architecture. Bioinspiration and Biomimetics, 8(1), https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-3182/8/1/016003

As electronic devices become increasingly complex, ensuring their reliable, fault-free operation is becoming correspondingly more challenging. It can be observed that, in spite of their complexity, biological systems are highly reliable and fault tol... Read More about SABRE: A bio-inspired fault-tolerant electronic architecture.
