A multimodal feedback interface for assisted navigation with a smart walker (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This study investigates the effectiveness of a mul-timodal feedback interface for assisted navigation using a smart walker, addressing mobility challenges faced by older adults. The methodology involved equipping a walker with sensors and feedback co... Read More about A multimodal feedback interface for assisted navigation with a smart walker.

Comparison of motor imagery brain computer interfaces and validation with the OpenBCI EEG electrode cap (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

People with Tetraplegia will typically require costly, round-the-clock care over the course of their lives due to lack of motor function. Brain computer interfaces (BCIs) are capable of identifying imagined motor intention for individual limbs; howev...

Deep learning-based detection of surface and buried landmines (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Landmines are explosive weapons that can lie dormant for years and cause disastrous effects on the local populations, who often must learn to live with the threat of landmines. Clearing, or even simply identifying landmines, is dangerous and challeng... Read More about Deep learning-based detection of surface and buried landmines.

Implicit aspects of the psychosocial rehabilitation with a humanoid robot (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The paper presents an approach to understanding the emergent dynamics of human-robot interaction in the specific case of a humanoid robot taking the role of a co-therapist to the human therapist in psychosocial rehabilitation by focusing on the nonve...

Comparing closed-loop control of drug infusion using MPC and PID (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Continuous intravenous drug delivery can require careful dosage and the maintenance of consistent blood plasma concentration levels. Here, the closed-loop control of drug concentration in simulated patients’ bloodstreams was investigated. During the...

An OctoMap-based 3D CostMap (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The development of OctoMap created an efficient, discrete, three-dimensional (3D) mapping framework that has been very useful in autonomous robotics for representing occupied and free space in the robot's environment. This paper presents an OctoMap-b... Read More about An OctoMap-based 3D CostMap.

Evaluation of LiDAR Inertial Odometry method with 3D LiDAR-based sensor pack (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

As the 4th industrial revolution emerges at the forefront of South Africa's national strategy, research areas like mapping and localization find importance in more fields than just robotics. The mining industry is well-positioned to be a potential be... Read More about Evaluation of LiDAR Inertial Odometry method with 3D LiDAR-based sensor pack.
