Formation flying along libration point orbits using chattering attenuation sliding mode control (2022)
Journal Article

This paper studies a control law to achieve formation flying in cislunar space. Utilizing the eigenstructure of the linearized flow around a libration point of the Earth-Moon circular restricted three-body problem, the fuel efficient formation flying...

Sport-related back injury prevention with a wearable device (2022)
Journal Article

There has been a high incidence rates (∼41%) of back injury from undertaking weightlifting exercises as a result of improper lifting posture, where the spine should remain straight during a lifting movement which is often not adopted correctly by ado...

Experimental and numerical study of hybrid (CFRP-GFRP) composite laminates containing circular cut-outs under shear loading (2022)
Journal Article

Previous works have established the response and failure behaviour of hybrid (CFRP-GFRP) laminates when subjected to a wide range of destabilising loads. However, to date no works have focused on plates with cut-outs under shear loading and quantifie...

Robust output-feedback predictive control for proximity eddy current de-tumbling with constraints and uncertainty (2022)
Journal Article

Proximity operation can significantly improve the efficiency of eddy current de-tumbling. However, the tumbling motion and non-cooperation of space debris make the chaser execute collision avoidance maneuvers and be influenced by model uncertainty. I...

Dynamic surface control with a nonlinear disturbance observer for multi‐degree of freedom underactuated mechanical systems (2022)
Journal Article

Underactuated systems are extensively utilized in practice while attracting a huge deal of attention in theoretical studies. There are few robust control strategies for general underactuated systems because of the variety of their dynamic models. A d... Read More about Dynamic surface control with a nonlinear disturbance observer for multi‐degree of freedom underactuated mechanical systems.

Assessment of soft actuators for hand exoskeletons: Pleated textile actuators and fiber-reinforced Silicone actuators (2022)
Journal Article

Soft robotic approaches have been trialed for rehabilitation or assistive hand exoskeletons using silicone or textile actuators because they have more tolerance for alignment with biological joints than rigid exoskeletons. Textile actuators have not... Read More about Assessment of soft actuators for hand exoskeletons: Pleated textile actuators and fiber-reinforced Silicone actuators.

A review on the techniques used in prostate brachytherapy (2022)
Journal Article

Prostate brachytherapy is a validated treatment for prostate cancer. During the procedure, the accuracy of needle placement is critical to the treatment’s effectiveness. However, the inserted needle could deflect from the preset trajectory because of... Read More about A review on the techniques used in prostate brachytherapy.

From teleoperation to autonomous robot-assisted microsurgery: A survey (2022)
Journal Article

Robot-assisted microsurgery (RAMS) has many benefits compared to traditional microsurgery. Microsurgical platforms with advanced control strategies, high-quality micro-imaging modalities and micro-sensing systems are worth developing to further enhan...
