Tokhi, & G. Virk (Eds.), Advances in Mobile Robotics: Proceedings of the Eleventh International Conference on Climbing and Walking Robots and the Support Technologies for Mobile Machines, Coimbra, Portugal, 8-10 September 2008 (1146-1153). https://doi.org/10.1142/9789812835772_0137

This paper proposes a novel search and rescue concept that aims to overcome the most basic obstacle in utilising a search and rescue teleoperated robot for a long distance energy autonomy. The concept utilizes a number of small robots capable of crea... Read More about A feasibility study for energy autonomy in multi robot search and rescue operations.

Recording forces exerted on the bowel wall during colonoscopy: in vitro evaluation. (2005)
Journal Article
Dogramadzi, S., Virk, G. S., Bell, G. D., Rowland, R. S., & Hancock, J. (2005). Recording forces exerted on the bowel wall during colonoscopy: in vitro evaluation. International Journal of Medical Robotics and Computer Assisted Surgery, 1(4), 89-97. https://doi.org/10.1002/rcs.61

A novel system for distributed force measurement between the bowel wall and the shaft of a colonoscope is presented. The system, based on the piezoresistive method, involves the integration of soft miniature transducers to a colonoscope to enable a w...

An electromagnetic imaging system for remote sign language communication (1999)
Presentation / Conference
Dogramadzi, S., Allen, C., Bell, G. D., & Rowland, R. S. (1999, May). An electromagnetic imaging system for remote sign language communication. Paper presented at 16th IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference, 1999 (IMTC/99), Venice, Italy

The technique described in this paper is concerned with the provision of a sign language emulator driven by an array of electromagnetic sensors integrated into a pair of data gloves. The objective is to provide a 3D visualization of the signing perfo... Read More about An electromagnetic imaging system for remote sign language communication.

Colonoscopy aided by magnetic 3D imaging: Is the technique sufficiently sensitive to detect differences between men and women? (1999)
Journal Article
Rowland, R. S., Bell, G. D., Dogramadzi, S., & Allen, C. (1999). Colonoscopy aided by magnetic 3D imaging: Is the technique sufficiently sensitive to detect differences between men and women?. Medical and Biological Engineering and Computing, 37(6), 673-679. https://doi.org/10.1007/BF02513366

Colonoscopy tends to be more difficult to perform in women. Women also experience more pain during flexible sigmoidoscopy, and the mean insertion distance of the instrument is less than in men. The `Bladen system', first described in 1993, is a non-r...

Colonoscopy aided by magnetic 3D imaging: Assessing the routine use of a stiffening sigmoid overtube to speed up the procedure (1999)
Journal Article
Bell, G. D., Rowland, R. S., Rutter, M., Abu-Sada, M., Dogramadzi, S., & Allen, C. (1999). Colonoscopy aided by magnetic 3D imaging: Assessing the routine use of a stiffening sigmoid overtube to speed up the procedure. Medical and Biological Engineering and Computing, 37(5), 605-611. https://doi.org/10.1007/BF02513355

There are not enough trained colonoscopists to cope with the present recommended number of examinations required for diagnostic and surveillance purposes. If colorectal cancer screening is to be introduced, endoscopic examination of the large bowel n...

Investigating real world issues in human robot interaction: Physical and cognitive solutions for a safe robotic system
Presentation / Conference
Giannaccini, M. E., Sobhani, M. M., Dogramadzi, S., & Harper, C. J. Investigating real world issues in human robot interaction: Physical and cognitive solutions for a safe robotic system. Paper presented at IEEE ICRA2013

In service robotics, safety is of primary importance. In the EU funded INTRO project1 , safety has been considered from the perspectives of both ‘cognitive’ and physical HumanRobot Interaction (cogHRI and pHRI for brevity). INTRO project researchers...
