Impact of inoculum type on the microbial community and power performance of urine-fed microbial fuel cells (2020)
Journal Article
Salar-Garcia, M. J., Obata, O., Kurt, H., Chandran, K., Greenman, J., & Ieropoulos, I. A. (2020). Impact of inoculum type on the microbial community and power performance of urine-fed microbial fuel cells. Microorganisms, 8(12), Article 1921. https://doi.org/10.3390/microorganisms8121921

Bacteria are the driving force of the microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology, which benefits from their natural ability to degrade organic matter and generate electricity. The development of an efficient anodic biofilm has a significant impact on the p...

ShearTouch - Towards a wearable tactile feedback device to provide continuous shear force sensation in real time (2020)
Conference Proceeding
Wells, O., Pipe, T., Dogramadzi, S., & Studley, M. (2020). ShearTouch - Towards a wearable tactile feedback device to provide continuous shear force sensation in real time. In Towards Autonomous Robotic Systems (287-298). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-63486-5_30

Force feedback in current teleoperation systems typically only provides haptic/kinaesthetic feedback to operators in the form of normal forces. However, it is proposed in this paper that the introduction of shear (or lateral) force feedback to operat...

One-shot 3D printed underactuated gripper (2020)
Conference Proceeding
Cormack, J., Fotouhi, M., Adams, G., & Pipe, A. (2020). One-shot 3D printed underactuated gripper. In A. Mohammad, X. Dong, & M. Russo (Eds.), Towards Autonomous Robotic Systems (400-404). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-63486-5_41

Underactuated gripping mechanisms allow a wide range of objects to be grasped, with relatively simple control and input. Current 3D printed underactuated grippers are often composed of multiple parts that need assembly before use. Consolidating many... Read More about One-shot 3D printed underactuated gripper.

Rare earth doped metal oxide sensor for the multimodal detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) (2020)
Journal Article
Fois, M., Cox, T., Ratcliffe, N., & de Lacy Costello, B. (2021). Rare earth doped metal oxide sensor for the multimodal detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Sensors and Actuators B: Chemical, 330, Article 129264. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.snb.2020.129264

Heated metal oxide sensors have been widely studied for their ability to give a reversible change in the electrical resistance following the interaction with a volatile compound. Another feature is their inherent cataluminescence (CTL) properties whe... Read More about Rare earth doped metal oxide sensor for the multimodal detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
