Tuning of compliant composite shell structures for assisted living (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
O'Donnell, M., Stacey, J., Kim, C., & Shcenk, M. (2022, July). Tuning of compliant composite shell structures for assisted living. Paper presented at 11th European Solid Mechanics Conference, National University of Ireland Galway

The Office for National Statistics’ 50-year forecast predicts that the over sixty-five population of the UK will increase by 8.6 million [1], reflecting a world-wide trend towards ageing populations. Reduced mobility is commonplace within this demogr... Read More about Tuning of compliant composite shell structures for assisted living.

Characterising the transformative shear response of cellular lattices when subject to topological reconfiguration (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Sundararaman, V., O'Donnell, M., Chenchiah, I., & Weaver, P. (2022, July). Characterising the transformative shear response of cellular lattices when subject to topological reconfiguration. Paper presented at 11th European Solid Mechanics Conference, National University of Ireland Galway

Demand for lightweight, adaptive and re-configurable structures is increasing in many fields such as space and robotics, encouraging designers to develop morphing lattice structures [1]. Changes in topology of lattice-like structures alters their eff... Read More about Characterising the transformative shear response of cellular lattices when subject to topological reconfiguration.

Calcination and characterization of low-grade fuel and kaolinitic clay blends (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kalyani Ambatipudi, M., Sinha, P., Appadurai, A., Chaunsali, P., & S, V. (2022, July). Calcination and characterization of low-grade fuel and kaolinitic clay blends. Poster presented at International Conference on Calcined Clay for Sustainable Concrete (CCSC 2022), Lausanne

Calcined clay blended cement (LC 3 types of cement) is one of the most promising solutions for CO 2 abatement in global cement industries. This study presents results on the characterization of products obtained in simultaneous calcination of kaolini...

The use of fine portions from construction and demolition waste for expansive soil stabilization: A review (2022)
Journal Article
Ujile, M. C., & Abbey, S. J. (2022). The use of fine portions from construction and demolition waste for expansive soil stabilization: A review. Frontiers of Structural and Civil Engineering, 16(7), 803–816. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11709-022-0835-z

Construction and demolition waste (CDW) are the largest waste products in the world today and competes as a viable recycled additive material in place of natural aggregates. Due to the increase in compressive strength of different mix proportions of...

Cost estimation of micro-hydropower equipment in Nepal (2022)
Journal Article
Butchers, J., Williamson, S., Booker, J., Maitland, T., Karki, P. B., Pradhan, B. R., …Gautam, B. (2022). Cost estimation of micro-hydropower equipment in Nepal. Development Engineering, 7, Article 100097. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.deveng.2022.100097

Selecting the appropriate technology for providing electricity to rural communities depends upon evaluating the cost of a potential installation. For some rural communities, locally manufactured technology, in the form of wind and hydropower, can be... Read More about Cost estimation of micro-hydropower equipment in Nepal.

E2EK: End-to-end regression network based on keypoint for 6d pose estimation (2022)
Journal Article
Lin, S., Wang, Z., Ling, Y., Tao, Y., & Yang, C. (2022). E2EK: End-to-end regression network based on keypoint for 6d pose estimation. IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, 7(3), 6526-6533. https://doi.org/10.1109/LRA.2022.3174261

The methods based on deep learning are the mainstream of 6D object pose estimation, which mainly include direct regression and two-stage pipelines. The former are keen by many scholars at first due to their simplicity and differentiability to poses,... Read More about E2EK: End-to-end regression network based on keypoint for 6d pose estimation.

Multifingered robot hand compliant manipulation based on vision-based demonstration and adaptive force control (2022)
Journal Article
Zeng, C., Li, S., Chen, Z., Yang, C., Sun, F., & Zhang, J. (in press). Multifingered robot hand compliant manipulation based on vision-based demonstration and adaptive force control. IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning Systems, 1-12. https://doi.org/10.1109/tnnls.2022.3184258

Multifingered hand dexterous manipulation is quite challenging in the domain of robotics. One remaining issue is how to achieve compliant behaviors. In this work, we propose a human-in-the-loop learning-control approach for acquiring compliant graspi...
