TACTIP - Tactile fingertip device, challenges in reduction of size to ready for robot hand integration (2012)
Presentation / Conference
Winstone, B., & Griffiths, G. (2012, December). TACTIP - Tactile fingertip device, challenges in reduction of size to ready for robot hand integration. Paper presented at 2012 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Biomimetics (ROBIO 2012), Guangzhou, China

Previous work on the TACTIP project has demonstrated a prototype tactile fingertip device, at a little over twice the diameter(40mm) of a human fingertip (16-20mm). Unlike most other developed MEMS sensors, the TACTIP device is appropriate for all ta...

Self-assembly in heterogeneous modular robots (2012)
Presentation / Conference
Liu, W., & Winfield, A. F. (2012, November). Self-assembly in heterogeneous modular robots. Paper presented at International Symposium on Distributed Autonomous Robotic Systems, Baltimore, Maryland, USA

This paper describes the distributed self-assembly of a multi-robot ‘organism’ from a swarm of autonomous heterogeneous modular mobile robots. A distributed self-assembly strategy based on a symbol sequence representation is proposed. Constructed fro... Read More about Self-assembly in heterogeneous modular robots.

Two people walk into a bar: Dynamic multi-party social interaction with a robot agent (2012)
Presentation / Conference
Foster, M. E., Gaschler, A., Giuliani, M., Isard, A., Pateraki, M., & Petrick, R. P. A. (2012, October). Two people walk into a bar: Dynamic multi-party social interaction with a robot agent. Paper presented at 14th ACM International Conference on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI 2012), California, USA

We introduce a humanoid robot bartender that is capable of dealing with multiple customers in a dynamic, multi-party social setting. The robot system incorporates state-of-the-art components for computer vision, linguistic processing, state managemen...

Whisker texture classification with uncertain contact pose geometry (2012)
Presentation / Conference
Evans, M., Pearson, M., Prescott, T. J., & Fox, C. W. (2012, October). Whisker texture classification with uncertain contact pose geometry. Paper presented at IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS 2012), Vilamoura, Algarve [Portugal]

Tactile sensing can be an important source of information for robots, and texture discrimination in partic- ular is useful in object recognition and terrain identification. Whisker based tactile sensing has recently been shown to be a promising a... Read More about Whisker texture classification with uncertain contact pose geometry.

Application of modern creep lifing techniques to a gamma-TiAl alloy (Ti- 45Al-2Mn-2Nb) (2012)
Presentation / Conference
Abdallah, Z., Whittaker, M. T., Bache, M. R., & Dixon, M. (2012, September). Application of modern creep lifing techniques to a gamma-TiAl alloy (Ti- 45Al-2Mn-2Nb). Paper presented at The 9th International Conference on Creep and Fatigue at Elevated Temperatures, London, UK

Intermetallic materials such as gamma titanium alumindes (-TiAl) offer an extremely attractive balance of properties. In support of potential engineering applications it is essential that the material properties are well understood across a wide tem...
