Bio-inspired design to support reduced energy consumption via the ‘light weighting’ of machine system elements (2015)
Journal Article
Bukner, S., Dialami, F., Ding, L., & Matthews, J. (2015). Bio-inspired design to support reduced energy consumption via the ‘light weighting’ of machine system elements. https://doi.org/10.7763/IJMO.2015.V5.441

A potential technique to reduce the energy required to actuate moving parts in a machine is to reduce their mass. This paper presents initial research attempting to answer this question for robotic arm application using a biologically inspired approa...

Towards verifiably ethical robot behaviour (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Dennis, L. A., Fisher, M., & Winfield, A. F. (2015, January). Towards verifiably ethical robot behaviour. Presented at Twenty-Ninth AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence, Texas, USA

Ensuring that autonomous systems work ethically is both complex and difficult. However, the idea of having an additional ‘governor’ that assesses options the system has, and prunes them to select the most ethical choices is well understood. Recent wo...

Innovative optical non-contact measurement of respiratory function using photometric stereo (2015)
Thesis
Ahmad, J. Innovative optical non-contact measurement of respiratory function using photometric stereo. (Thesis). University of the West of England. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/839396

Pulmonary functional testing is very common and widely used in today's clinical environment for testing lung function. The contact based nature of a Spirometer can cause breathing awareness that alters the breathing pattern, affects the amount of air...

Stable admittance type haptic interaction based on time domain passivity approach (2015)
Journal Article
Jafari, A., Totorkulov, K., & Ryu, J. (2015). Stable admittance type haptic interaction based on time domain passivity approach

In this paper, we propose a stable and high transparent admittance haptic display even in free space haptic rendering. Because considering admittance haptic rendering as a one-port network is not enough to detect the active energy, new representation...
