Modelling of the materials classification of in-orbit debris using DISCOSweb and other sources (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Space debris is a topic of growing concern as the space industry evolves. This paper describes the findings of a new model used to classify the materials used in current orbital objects. It utilises data from sources including ESA’s DISCOS (Database... Read More about Modelling of the materials classification of in-orbit debris using DISCOSweb and other sources.

State filtering and parameter estimation for two input two output systems with time delay (2021)
Journal Article

This paper focuses on presenting a new identification algorithm to estimate the parameters and state variables for two-input two-output dynamic systems with time delay based on canonical state space models. First, the related input-output equation is... Read More about State filtering and parameter estimation for two input two output systems with time delay.

DMPs-based skill learning for redundant dual-arm robotic synchronized cooperative manipulation (2021)
Journal Article

Dual-arm robot manipulation is applicable to many domains, such as industrial, medical, and home service scenes. Learning from demonstrations (LfD) is a highly effective paradigm for robotic learning, where a robot learns from human actions directly... Read More about DMPs-based skill learning for redundant dual-arm robotic synchronized cooperative manipulation.

Anatomy of air entrapment in drop impact on a solid surface (2021)
Journal Article

When a drop impacts on a solid surface, a thin air film is entrapped first and later evolves into a spherical air bubble at the center inside the drop. The problem involves several complex physical processes, including two-phase fluid flow interactio... Read More about Anatomy of air entrapment in drop impact on a solid surface.

Safety assessment review of a dressing assistance robot (2021)
Journal Article

Hazard analysis methods such as HAZOP and STPA have proven to be effective methods for assurance of system safety for years. However, the dimensionality and human factors uncertainty of many assistive robotic applications challenges the capability of...
