UNDERWORLDS: Cascading situation assessment for robots (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© 2018 IEEE. We introduce UNDERWORLDS, a novel lightweight framework for cascading spatio-temporal situation assessment in robotics. UNDERWORLDS allows programmers to represent the robot's environment as real-time distributed data structures, contain... Read More about UNDERWORLDS: Cascading situation assessment for robots.

The Dark Side of Ethical Robots (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© 2018 ACM. Concerns over the risks associated with advances in Artificial Intelligence have prompted calls for greater efforts toward robust and beneficial AI, including machine ethics. Recently, roboticists have responded by initiating the developm... Read More about The Dark Side of Ethical Robots.

Enhancing the Command-Following Bandwidth for Transparent Bilateral Teleoperation (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© 2018 IEEE. Enhancing transparency of a teleoperation system by increasing the command-following bandwidth has not received lots of attention so far. This is considered a challenging task since in a teleoperation system the command-following bandwid...

Robot companion for industrial process monitoring based on virtual fixtures (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© 2018 IEEE. In this paper, the use of a monitoring companion is proposed to more efficiently collect the process information during the tuning of industrial systems, and therefore to assist the system integrator in the optimization process for compl...

Integrating shelf life constraints in capacitated lot sizing and scheduling for perishable products (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In this study, we consider a multi-item capacitated lot sizing and scheduling problem for perishable food products, which have a fixed shelf life period due to depreciation issues, such as physical deterioration or perceived value loss. We incorporat... Read More about Integrating shelf life constraints in capacitated lot sizing and scheduling for perishable products.

Enhancing sustainable development goals and empathy through digital education: A pilot cross national study between India and the UK (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This e-poster builds on our last year’s research (Bakthavatchaalam et al., 2017) on the effectiveness of digital education in enhancing the subject knowledge and SDGs in engineering Higher Education (HE) learners. In this study, expand our study by c... Read More about Enhancing sustainable development goals and empathy through digital education: A pilot cross national study between India and the UK.

Home activity monitoring using low resolution infrared sensor array (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Abstract. Action monitoring in a home environment provides important information for health monitoring and may serve as input into a smart home environment. Visual analysis using cameras can recognise actions in a complex scene, such as someones livi... Read More about Home activity monitoring using low resolution infrared sensor array.

Design and development of a novel controller for robust attitude stabilisation of an unmanned air vehicle for nuclear environments (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This study presents two new robust nonlinear control algorithms based on the theory of time-varying sliding mode control (TVSMC) strategy to stabilize the attitude of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for nuclear decommissioning applications. Constant... Read More about Design and development of a novel controller for robust attitude stabilisation of an unmanned air vehicle for nuclear environments.
