On fault tolerance and scalability of swarm robotic systems (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
This paper challenges the common assumption that swarm robotic systems are robust and scalable by default. We present an analysis based on both reliability modelling and experimental trials of a case study swarm performing team work, in which failure...

TACTIP - Tactile fingertip device, challenges in reduction of size to ready for robot hand integration (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Previous work on the TACTIP project has demonstrated a prototype tactile fingertip device, at a little over twice the diameter(40mm) of a human fingertip (16-20mm). Unlike most other developed MEMS sensors, the TACTIP device is appropriate for all ta...

Debond resisting composite stringers (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Self-assembly in heterogeneous modular robots (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
This paper describes the distributed self-assembly of a multi-robot ‘organism’ from a swarm of autonomous heterogeneous modular mobile robots. A distributed self-assembly strategy based on a symbol sequence representation is proposed. Constructed fro... Read More about Self-assembly in heterogeneous modular robots.
Numerical study of unsteady airflow phenomena in a ventilated room (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Numerical simulation of airflow in an indoor environment has been carried out for forced, natural and mixed convection modes respectively, by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach of solving the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations....

Numerical simulation of a turbulent flow over an axisymmetric hill (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Simulation of a turbulent °ow over an axisymmetric hill has been carried out to study three-dimensional °ow separation and reattachment that occur on the lee-side of the geome-try. A total of four simulations are considered at low Reynolds number of... Read More about Numerical simulation of a turbulent flow over an axisymmetric hill.
Laser sintering for the fabrication of architectural models (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Additive Manufacturing technologies are widely employed in the production of models for a range of industries. However, to-date little explicit research attention has examined the way in which the Laser Sintering technologies can be used in the speci...

Two people walk into a bar: Dynamic multi-party social interaction with a robot agent (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
We introduce a humanoid robot bartender that is capable of dealing with multiple customers in a dynamic, multi-party social setting. The robot system incorporates state-of-the-art components for computer vision, linguistic processing, state managemen...

Towards a variable compliance hydrostatic skeleton inspired gripper (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Variable compliance is a subject of great interest in the robotics community, particularly in the area of HumanRobot interaction. In this work, variable compliance is achieved in a novel grasping device inspired by the hydrostatic skeletons of invert...
