From shear centre to eigenwrenches (2021)
Journal Article

In the field of mechanism design, the behaviour of compliant shell mechanisms is commonly characterised via the eigenscrew decomposition of their spatial stiffness matrix. Recent developments have included the design of compliant shell mechanisms mad... Read More about From shear centre to eigenwrenches.

Towards an ontological framework for environmental survey hazard analysis of autonomous systems (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper presents current progress in the development of Environmental Survey Hazard Analysis (ESHA), a method of preliminary hazard identification aimed at autonomous system application problems. In addition to performing their design mission, aut... Read More about Towards an ontological framework for environmental survey hazard analysis of autonomous systems.

Investigating the dynamic compression response of elastomeric, additively manufactured fluid-filled structures via experimental and finite element analyses (2021)
Journal Article

This study evaluates a fluid-filled, closed-cell lattice as a novel route to reducing peak acceleration in impact environments. A conical structure was designed and built using fused filament fabrication. One structure was manufactured hollow (100% a...

A constrained DMPs framework for robot skills learning and generalization from human demonstrations (2021)
Journal Article

Dynamical movement primitives (DMPs) model is a useful tool for efficiently robotic learning manipulation skills from human demonstrations and then generalizing these skills to fulfill new tasks. It is improved and applied for the cases with multiple... Read More about A constrained DMPs framework for robot skills learning and generalization from human demonstrations.

Micro-hydropower in Nepal: Analysing the project process to understand drivers that strengthen and weaken sustainability (2021)
Journal Article

Evaluating the sustainable operation of community-owned and community-operated renewable energy projects is complex. The development of a project often depends on the actions of diverse stakeholders, including the government, industry and communities...

U-model-based two-degree-of-freedom internal model control of nonlinear dynamic systems (2021)
Journal Article

This paper proposes a U-Model-Based Two-Degree-of-Freedom Internal Model Control (UTDF-IMC) structure with strength in nonlinear dynamic inversion, and separation of tracking design and robustness design. This approach can effectively accommodate mod... Read More about U-model-based two-degree-of-freedom internal model control of nonlinear dynamic systems.

Presentation / Conference Contribution

A multizone cerebellar chip for bioinspired adaptive robot control and sensorimotor processing (2021)
Journal Article

The cerebellum is a neural structure essential for learning, which is connected via multiple zones to many different regions of the brain, and is thought to improve human performance in a large range of sensory, motor and even cognitive processing ta...

St Georg Sled medial unicompartmental arthroplasty: survivorship analysis and function at 20years follow up (2021)
Journal Article

Purpose: The peri-operative and short-term benefits of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) are well supported in the literature. However, there remains concern regarding the higher revision rate when compared with total knee replacement. This ma...

Scavenge performance of an optimized shallow sump at various flow conditions (2021)
Journal Article

Oil scavenge flow in aero-engine bearing chamber remains largely a challenging problem for many engine designers. Research campaign on scavenge flow has been conducted by G2TRC - Gas Turbine and Transmissions Research Centre (previously Rolls Royce U...
