Occupancy grid-based SLAM using a mobile robot with a ring of eight sonar transducers (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The degree of accuracy by which a mobile robot can estimate the properties of its surrounding environment, and the ability to successfully navigate throughout the explored space are the main factors that may well determine its autonomy and efficiency...

Artificial active whiskers for guiding underwater autonomous walking robots (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

A low-cost, biologically inspired underwater walking robot (see Fig. 1) has been designed and built to covertly explore the seabed and to determine properties of submerged objects in obscure and inaccessible underwater locations. This paper focuses o... Read More about Artificial active whiskers for guiding underwater autonomous walking robots.

Automated reduction of complete joint fractures (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

A feasibility study for energy autonomy in multi robot search and rescue operations (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper proposes a novel search and rescue concept that aims to overcome the most basic obstacle in utilising a search and rescue teleoperated robot for a long distance energy autonomy. The concept utilizes a number of small robots capable of crea... Read More about A feasibility study for energy autonomy in multi robot search and rescue operations.

Installation and first results of a solar assisted heat pump system (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The importance of renewable energy resources are growing because of many reasons including the increasing costs of fossil fuels and the growing awareness of sustainability and environmental concerns. There are many different possibilities to use rene... Read More about Installation and first results of a solar assisted heat pump system.

An electromagnetic imaging system for remote sign language communication (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The technique described in this paper is concerned with the provision of a sign language emulator driven by an array of electromagnetic sensors integrated into a pair of data gloves. The objective is to provide a 3D visualization of the signing perfo... Read More about An electromagnetic imaging system for remote sign language communication.

Investigating real world issues in human robot interaction: Physical and cognitive solutions for a safe robotic system
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In service robotics, safety is of primary importance. In the EU funded INTRO project1 , safety has been considered from the perspectives of both ‘cognitive’ and physical HumanRobot Interaction (cogHRI and pHRI for brevity). INTRO project researchers...
