Towards the safety of human-in-the-loop robotics: Challenges and opportunities for safety assurance of robotic co-workers' (2014)
Conference Proceeding
Eder, K., C. Harper, C., & Leonards, U. (2014). Towards the safety of human-in-the-loop robotics: Challenges and opportunities for safety assurance of robotic co-workers'. . https://doi.org/10.1109/ROMAN.2014.6926328

The success of the human-robot co-worker team in a flexible manufacturing environment where robots learn from demonstration heavily relies on the correct and safe operation of the robot. How this can be achieved is a challenge that requires addressin...

Design procedure of chattering attenuation sliding mode attitude control of a satellite system (2014)
Conference Proceeding
Nemati, H., & Hokamoto, S. (2014). Design procedure of chattering attenuation sliding mode attitude control of a satellite system

This study presents a design procedure for a new robust nonlinear control algorithm based on the theory of the terminal sliding mode (TSM) to control the attitude of a satellite system. Since the traditional TSM controllers include a discontinuous fu... Read More about Design procedure of chattering attenuation sliding mode attitude control of a satellite system.

Feasibility of using Duraform® flex lattice structures and additive manufacturing for optimising bicycle helmet design safety (2014)
Conference Proceeding
Soe, S., Robinson, M. R., Martin, P. S., Jones, M. D., & Theobald, P. (2014). Feasibility of using Duraform® flex lattice structures and additive manufacturing for optimising bicycle helmet design safety. In Sustainable Design and Manufacturing: SDM-14: Pre-Proceedings. , (278-291)

Bicycle helmets are designed to attenuate forces and accelerations experienced by the head during cycling accidents. An essential element of bicycle helmet design is, therefore, the appropriate manufacturing of energy dissipating components. The focu...
