A study on the effects of cognitive overloading and distractions on human movement during robot-assisted dressing (2022)
Journal Article

For robots that can provide physical assistance, maintaining synchronicity of the robot and human movement is a precursor for interaction safety. Existing research on collaborative HRI does not consider how synchronicity can be affected if humans are...

Effect of lid height and blowing ratio on film cooling effectiveness of a novel lidded hole configuration (2022)
Journal Article

Film cooling is one of the promising technologies used for protecting rocket nozzles and turbine blades from combustion chamber hot gases. This paper proposes a novel shape of film cooling injection hole, called lidded hole, that can offer significan...

Benchmarking robots in smart cities (2022)
Journal Article

In order for robots to become integrated into society, we need to be able to prove that robots do their jobs reliably. Robot benchmarking competitions in smart cities offer a glimpse into our future.

Optimisation of straight plate upstream deflector for the performance enhancement of vertical axis wind turbine at low, medium and high regimes of tip speed ratios (2022)
Journal Article

Location and geometry optimisations of Straight Plate Upstream Deflector (SPUD) for performance enhancement of a three-straightbladed Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) are carried out at three regimes of tip speed ratios (TSRs). Results analysis reve... Read More about Optimisation of straight plate upstream deflector for the performance enhancement of vertical axis wind turbine at low, medium and high regimes of tip speed ratios.

Diabetes mellitus prediction and diagnosis from a data preprocessing and machine learning perspective (2022)
Journal Article

Background and Objective: Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia, which results from the inadequacy of the body to secrete and respond to insulin. If not properly managed or diagnosed on time, diabetes can pose a ris... Read More about Diabetes mellitus prediction and diagnosis from a data preprocessing and machine learning perspective.

The Christmas Lectures: extending the experience outside the lecture theatre (2022)
Journal Article

Traditionally, the Royal Institution’s Christmas Lectures have always adopted a deficit model for communication, with one or two invited scientists giving lectures to an audience present at the Royal Institution (Ri) and, since 1936, an audience watc...

Adaptive compliant skill learning for contact-rich manipulation with human in the loop (2022)
Journal Article

It is essential for the robot manipulator to adapt to unexpected events and dynamic environments while executing the physical contact-rich tasks. Although a range of methods have been investigated to enhance the adaptability and generalization capabi... Read More about Adaptive compliant skill learning for contact-rich manipulation with human in the loop.

An adaptive fuzzy control for human-in-the-loop operations with varying communication time delays (2022)
Journal Article

Time delay, especially varying time delay, is always an important factor affecting the stability to the human-in-the-loop system. Previous research usually focuses on the performance of the internal signal transmission part, but rarely considers the... Read More about An adaptive fuzzy control for human-in-the-loop operations with varying communication time delays.

A robotic test rig for performance assessment of prosthetic joints (2022)
Journal Article

Movement within the human body is made possible by joints connecting two or more elements of the musculoskeletal system. Losing one or more of these connections can seriously limit mobility, which in turn can lead to depression and other mental issue...
