Mathematical modelling analysis of male urine flow traces
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Differentiating non-invasively detrusor underactivity (DU) from bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) in men remains a challenge. Invasive pressure flow studies (PFS) are still required despite many years of study. The shape of the urine free flow curve h...

Increasing the rate-hardness of haptic interaction: Successive force augmentation approach
Presentation / Conference Contribution

There have been numerous approaches that have been proposed to enlarge the impedance range, however it is still a challenging issue to increase the rate-hardness of haptic interaction while maintaining stability. The actual perceived rate-hardness ha... Read More about Increasing the rate-hardness of haptic interaction: Successive force augmentation approach.

Successive stiffness increment approach for high stiffness haptic interaction
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper proposes a method to further enlarge the displayed stiffness range of the impedance-type haptic interfaces. Numerous studies have been done for a stable haptic interaction in a wide impedance range. However, most of the approaches sacrific...

Independent force and position control for cooperating manipulators handling an unknown object interacting with an unknown environment
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In this paper, we consider two manipulators grasping a rigid object in contact with a deformable working surface, whose real physical parameters are unknown. Dynamics of the closed chain mechanism is expressed based on the objects center of mass, and...

An adaptive hybrid force/motion control design for robot manipulators interacting in constrained motion with unknown non-rigid environments
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In the present paper, the objective of hybrid control is specified and an adaptive hybrid force/motion control approach is proposed. Based on the concept of hybrid control, the task space is decomposed into position and force controlled subspaces. An...

Investigating real world issues in human robot interaction: Physical and cognitive solutions for a safe robotic system
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In service robotics, safety is of primary importance. In the EU funded INTRO project1 , safety has been considered from the perspectives of both ‘cognitive’ and physical HumanRobot Interaction (cogHRI and pHRI for brevity). INTRO project researchers...

Implementation of an IR approach for autonomous docking in a self-configurable robotics system
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper presents an IR approach to the development of a sensor system which enables robots to autonomously dock with each other to form complex morphologies. The system includes three sub-units with different operational ranges: a short range pro...

Evaluating description and reference strategies in a cooperative human-robot dialogue system
Presentation / Conference Contribution

We present a human-robot dialogue system that enables a robot to work together with a human user to build wooden construction toys. We then describe a study which assessed the responses of na¨ıve users to output that varied along two dimensions: the...

Investigation of CAI combustion with positive valve overlap and enlargement of CAI operating range
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Controlled Auto-Ignition (CAI) combustion was investigated in a Ricardo E6 single cylinder, four-stroke gasoline engine. CAI combustion was achieved by employing positive valve overlap in combination with variable compression ratios and intake air te...
