A constrained framework based on IBLF for robot learning with human supervision (2023)
Journal Article
Shi, D., Li, Q., Yang, C., & Lu, Z. (2023). A constrained framework based on IBLF for robot learning with human supervision. Robotica, 41(8), 2451-2463. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0263574723000462

Dynamical movement primitives (DMPs) method is a useful tool for efficient robotic skills learning from human demonstrations. However, the DMPs method should know the specified constraints of tasks in advance. One flexible solution is to introduce th...

Journal Article
Musa, A., Kiely, J., Luxton, R., & Honeychurch, K. C. (2023). An electrochemical screen-printed sensor based on gold-nanoparticle-decorated reduced graphene oxide–carbon nanotubes composites for the determination of 17-β estradiol. Biosensors, 13(4), Article 491. https://doi.org/10.3390/bios13040491

In this study, a screen-printed electrode (SPE) modified with gold-nanoparticle-decorated reduced graphene oxide–carbon nanotubes (rGO-AuNPs/CNT/SPE) was used for the determination of estradiol (E2). The AuNPs were produced through an eco-friendly me...

Precise leader-follower control is critical for teleop- eration. This paper designs and implements a low-cost leader device for unilateral teleoperation scenario. Monocular vision based on fiducial markers and MEMS Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) are... Read More about Handheld device design for robotic teleoperation based on multi-sensor fusion.

Parametric and machine learning-based analysis of the seismic vulnerability of adobe historical buildings damaged after the September 2017 Mexico earthquakes (2023)
Journal Article
Ramírez Eudave, R., Ferreira, T. M., Vicente, R., Lourenco, P. B., & Peña, F. (in press). Parametric and machine learning-based analysis of the seismic vulnerability of adobe historical buildings damaged after the September 2017 Mexico earthquakes. International Journal of Architectural Heritage, https://doi.org/10.1080/15583058.2023.2200739

In September 2017, two strong earthquakes hit the central region of Mexico, producing substantial damage to the historical buildings. A retroactive analysis for assessing the pre-event seismic vulnerability of these constructions allowed for testing...

Seeing through the fog – stories of social shocks to empower youth voice and leadership (2023)
Presentation / Conference
Webber, A., Jones, V., Gorell Barnes, L., Fogg Rogers, L., McEwen, L., Williams, S., …Gopinath, D. (2023, April). Seeing through the fog – stories of social shocks to empower youth voice and leadership. Paper presented at Public Communication of Science & Technology, Rotterdam, The Netherlands

The UN Convention of the Rights of the Child (Article 12) clearly states that children have the right to be to be heard and to have their views taken seriously. However, their voices are seldom listened to or considered in policy making and policy de... Read More about Seeing through the fog – stories of social shocks to empower youth voice and leadership.
