Optimisation of straight plate upstream deflector for the performance enhancement of vertical axis wind turbine at low, medium and high regimes of tip speed ratios (2022)
Journal Article

Location and geometry optimisations of Straight Plate Upstream Deflector (SPUD) for performance enhancement of a three-straightbladed Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) are carried out at three regimes of tip speed ratios (TSRs). Results analysis reve...

Diabetes mellitus prediction and diagnosis from a data preprocessing and machine learning perspective (2022)
Journal Article

Background and Objective: Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia, which results from the inadequacy of the body to secrete and respond to insulin. If not properly managed or diagnosed on time, diabetes can pose a ris... Read More about Diabetes mellitus prediction and diagnosis from a data preprocessing and machine learning perspective.

The Christmas Lectures: extending the experience outside the lecture theatre (2022)
Journal Article

Traditionally, the Royal Institution’s Christmas Lectures have always adopted a deficit model for communication, with one or two invited scientists giving lectures to an audience present at the Royal Institution (Ri) and, since 1936, an audience watc...

Adaptive compliant skill learning for contact-rich manipulation with human in the loop (2022)
Journal Article

It is essential for the robot manipulator to adapt to unexpected events and dynamic environments while executing the physical contact-rich tasks. Although a range of methods have been investigated to enhance the adaptability and generalization capabi...

An adaptive fuzzy control for human-in-the-loop operations with varying communication time delays (2022)
Journal Article

Time delay, especially varying time delay, is always an important factor affecting the stability to the human-in-the-loop system. Previous research usually focuses on the performance of the internal signal transmission part, but rarely considers the...

WeCount project evaluation summary: Citizen science on urban mobility (2022)
Report

WeCount was a Horizon 2020 project which aimed at quantifying local road transport, produce scientific knowledge in the field of mobility and environmental pollution and co- design informed solutions for several road transport challenges. Uniquely, t... Read More about WeCount project evaluation summary: Citizen science on urban mobility.

A robotic test rig for performance assessment of prosthetic joints (2022)
Journal Article

Movement within the human body is made possible by joints connecting two or more elements of the musculoskeletal system. Losing one or more of these connections can seriously limit mobility, which in turn can lead to depression and other mental issue...

Learning from carers to inform the design of safe physically assistive robots - Insights from a focus group study (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This research investigates how professional carers physically assist frail older adults. Carers were asked to discuss their approach and steps for providing safe physical assistance and highlight hazards that assistive robots would have to deal with...

IEEE Standard for Transparency of Autonomous Systems (2022)
Other

Measurable, testable levels of transparency, so that autonomous systems can be objectively assessed, and levels of compliance determined, are described in this standard.

A review on the use of passive flow control devices as performance enhancement of lift-type vertical axis wind turbines (2022)
Journal Article

This article provides a comprehensive review about passive flow control devices (PFCDs) implemented in lift-type vertical axis wind turbine (LVAWT), focusing on the underlying flow physics mechanisms and to what extents they can improve the LVAWT per...
