Qualitative Review of Object Recognition Techniques for Tabletop Manipulation (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© 2017 ACM. This paper provides a qualitative review of different object recognition techniques relevant for near-proximity Human- Robot Interaction. These techniques are divided into three categories: 2D correspondence, 3D correspondence and nonvisi... Read More about Qualitative Review of Object Recognition Techniques for Tabletop Manipulation.

The impact of an extreme observation in a paired samples design (2017)
Journal Article

The effect of systematically altering the value of a single observation within a paired differences design is considered. A paradox is observed for the paired samples t-test, where increasing the value of an observation in the direction of the true m...

Developing elastomeric cellular structures for multiple head impacts (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Foam?based materials were originally incorporated into helmets in the 1970?s, providing an effective method of absorbing impact energy and so protecting against severe head injury. Similar materials still exist in the majority of protective helmets t... Read More about Developing elastomeric cellular structures for multiple head impacts.

Estimation of the dynamic leakage current of a supercapacitor in energy harvesting powered autonomous wireless sensor nodes (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© 2017 IEEE. The supercapacitor is a candidate energy storage component for energy harvesting powered autonomous wireless sensor node aiming to achieve battery replacement-free, 'fit and forget' sensor node in low-power IoT applications. The leakage... Read More about Estimation of the dynamic leakage current of a supercapacitor in energy harvesting powered autonomous wireless sensor nodes.

Supercapacitive microbial desalination cells: New class of power generating devices for reduction of salinity content (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 The Author(s) In this work, the electrodes of a microbial desalination cell (MDC) are investigated as the positive and negative electrodes of an internal supercapacitor. The resulting system has been named a supercapacitive microbial desalinat...

Realizing low-impedance rendering in admittance-type haptic interfaces using the input-to-state stable approach (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© 2017 IEEE. This paper proposes an approach to enlarge the impedance range of admittance-type haptic interfaces. Admittance-type haptic interfaces have advantages over impedance-type haptic interfaces in the interaction with high impedance virtual e...

3D video based detection of early lameness in dairy cattle (2017)
Thesis

Lameness is a major issue in dairy cattle and its early and automated detection offers animal welfare benefits together with potentially high commercial savings for farmers. Current advancements in automated detection have not achieved a sensitive me... Read More about 3D video based detection of early lameness in dairy cattle.

What works in the field? Evaluating informal science events (2017)
Journal Article

Around the world, increasing numbers of people are attending informal science events, often ones that are part of multi-event festivals that cross cultural boundaries. For the researchers who take part, and the organizers, evaluating the events' succ... Read More about What works in the field? Evaluating informal science events.

What's up?-Resolving interaction ambiguity through non-visual cues for a robotic dressing assistant (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© 2017 IEEE. Robots that can assist in activities of daily living (ADL) such as dressing assistance, need to be capable of intuitive and safe interaction. Vision systems are often used to provide information on the position and movement of the robot...
