Online hazard analysis for autonomous robots (2011)
Conference Proceeding
Woodman, R., Winfield, A. F. T., Harper, C., & Fraser, M. (2011). Online hazard analysis for autonomous robots. In J. Penders, T. J. Prescott, M. Witkowski, C. Melhuish, L. Alboul, & R. Groß (Eds.), Towards Autonomous Robotic Systems (406-407)

Robotic systems require rigorous analysis at all stages of development to ensure system safety. The manufacturing industry has developed many of the robotic design methods used today. These methods were adapted from design practices taken from other... Read More about Online hazard analysis for autonomous robots.

Urine as a suitable fuel for microbial fuel cells (2011)
Conference Proceeding
Ieropoulos, I. A., Greenman, J., & Melhuish, C. (2011). Urine as a suitable fuel for microbial fuel cells. In P. Lunghi, S. Ubertini, & V. Cigolotti (Eds.), Proceedings of EFC11. , (325-326)

MFCs show promise in utilising a wide variety of organic sources. This paper describes the utilisation of neat urine as the main feedstock, with conversion efficiencies of >50%. Power densities of 4.93mW/m2 were recorded when 48 small-scale MFCs were... Read More about Urine as a suitable fuel for microbial fuel cells.

Liquid and gas flow behaviour in highly rotating environment (2011)
Conference Proceeding
Chandra, B., Simmons, K., Pickering, S., & Tittel, M. (2011). Liquid and gas flow behaviour in highly rotating environment. In Volume 1: Aircraft Engine; Ceramics; Coal, Biomass and Alternative Fuels; Wind Turbine Technology. , (337-345). https://doi.org/10.1115/GT2011-46430

In a typical aero engine bearing chamber, oil is introduced to lubricate and cool the bearings as well as the bearing chamber wall. The flow of the oil in the bearing chamber is very complex due to the presence of various forces: gravity, windage, ca...
