Implementation of an IR approach for autonomous docking in a self-configurable robotics system
Presentation / Conference
Liu, W., & Winfield, A. F. Implementation of an IR approach for autonomous docking in a self-configurable robotics system. Paper presented at Proceedings of Towards Autonomous Robotic Systems

This paper presents an IR approach to the development of a sensor system which enables robots to autonomously dock with each other to form complex morphologies. The system includes three sub-units with different operational ranges: a short range pro...

Evaluating description and reference strategies in a cooperative human-robot dialogue system
Presentation / Conference
Foster, M. E., Giuliani, M., Isard, A., Matheson, C., Oberlander, J., & Knoll, A. Evaluating description and reference strategies in a cooperative human-robot dialogue system. Paper presented at Twenty-first International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI-09), 11-17 July 2009

We present a human-robot dialogue system that enables a robot to work together with a human user to build wooden construction toys. We then describe a study which assessed the responses of na¨ıve users to output that varied along two dimensions: the...

Investigation of CAI combustion with positive valve overlap and enlargement of CAI operating range
Presentation / Conference
Yang, C., Zhao, H., & Megaritis, T. Investigation of CAI combustion with positive valve overlap and enlargement of CAI operating range. Paper presented at SAE Technical Papers

Controlled Auto-Ignition (CAI) combustion was investigated in a Ricardo E6 single cylinder, four-stroke gasoline engine. CAI combustion was achieved by employing positive valve overlap in combination with variable compression ratios and intake air te...

Embedding general constraint resolution into a CAD system
Conference Proceeding
Singh, B., Matthews, J., Mullineux, G., & Medland, A. J. (2006). Embedding general constraint resolution into a CAD system. In D. Marjanovic (Ed.), In DS 36: Proceedings DESIGN 2006, the 9th International Design Conference, Dubrovnik, Croatia

Computer aided design (CAD) has facilitated designer's task by automating many of the activities involved in a conventional design process. This can be further augmented by use of constraints in CAD systems. However there is still need for incorporat... Read More about Embedding general constraint resolution into a CAD system.

A primer on validity and design terminology in comparative designs
Other
White, P., Redford, P., & Macdonald, J. (2019). A primer on validity and design terminology in comparative designs

An overview of terminology (independent and dependent designs, dependent and independent variables) and validity (internal, external, and measurement) is given using six different scenarios. For simplicity of exposition, all examples have factors at... Read More about A primer on validity and design terminology in comparative designs.

An example motivated discourse of the chi-squared test of association (2 by 2)
Other
White, P., Redford, P., & Macdonald, J. (2019). An example motivated discourse of the chi-squared test of association (2 by 2)

An example application of the chi-square test of association is given through a set of questions and answers. The emphasis is on methodological aspects and what can be legitimately inferred, if anything. It is strongly highlighted that statistical...

A reverse look at p-values
Other
White, P., Redford, P., & Macdonald, J. A reverse look at p-values

An overview of p-values is given. The usual way of being introduced to p-values is by considering the rigorous development of statistical tests, then their use for decision making. This note takes a reverse view by firstly considering their use in... Read More about A reverse look at p-values.

Expressing facial structure and appearance information in frequency domain for face recognition
Report
Olisah, C., Nunoo, S., Ofedebe, P., & Sulong, G. Expressing facial structure and appearance information in frequency domain for face recognition

Beneath the uncertain primitive visual features of face images are the primitive intrinsic structural patterns (PISP) essential for characterizing a sample face discriminative attributes. It is on this basis that this paper presents a simple yet effe... Read More about Expressing facial structure and appearance information in frequency domain for face recognition.
