Absorptive capacity in the Brazilian cosmetics industry (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

There is currently a growing interest in two concepts and practices related to open innovation and absorptive capacity, in particular with regard to the role played by individuals. This requires a deeper understanding of these concepts because the fu... Read More about Absorptive capacity in the Brazilian cosmetics industry.

The efficacy of “busyness” as a measure for behaviour pattern analysis using unlabelled sensor data: A case study (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) into our daily lives has the potential to significantly improve the quality of life and well-being of citizens, especially older adults who want to continue to live independently in their own home. In order... Read More about The efficacy of “busyness” as a measure for behaviour pattern analysis using unlabelled sensor data: A case study.

Powered exoskeleton with palm degrees of freedom for hand rehabilitation (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© 2015 IEEE. Robotic rehabilitation is a currently underutilised field with the potential to allow huge cost savings within healthcare. Existing rehabilitation exoskeletons oversimplify the importance of movement of the hand while undertaking everyda...

Intra-operative 3D imaging system for robot-assisted fracture manipulation (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© 2015 IEEE. Reduction is a crucial step in the treatment of broken bones. Achieving precise anatomical alignment of bone fragments is essential for a good fast healing process. Percutaneous techniques are associated with faster recovery time and low... Read More about Intra-operative 3D imaging system for robot-assisted fracture manipulation.

Preliminary analysis of force-torque measurements for robot-assisted fracture surgery (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© 2015 IEEE. Our group at Bristol Robotics Laboratory has been working on a new robotic system for fracture surgery that has been previously reported [1]. The robotic system is being developed for distal femur fractures and features a robot that mani...

Second-order model for rotary traveling wave ultrasonic motors (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Ultrasonic motors are compact actuators with high precision and high stall torque. They feature a friction-based actuation principle and offer an alternative to standard actuators such as direct current motors. However, their nonlinear dynamics, the...

Fault-tolerant generator telecontrol over a microgrid IP network (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© 2015 IEEE. The liberalization of the energy markets, combined with the drive towards a low-carbon economy, has led to the development of the concept of the smart grid. The smart grid is an energy distribution network that enables real-time informat... Read More about Fault-tolerant generator telecontrol over a microgrid IP network.

Physiologically-inspired self-regulation for Factory Automation: Towards Artificial Homeostasis for Shopfloors (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© 2015 IEEE. Many Factory Automation Systems (FASs) are been increasingly required to provide 24/7 in-service operation. This demands increasingly-higher levels of autonomy, and makes FAS control architectures include extra regulating capabilities in...
