Characterisation of a nuclear cave environment utilising an autonomous swarm of heterogeneous robots (2019)
Thesis

As nuclear facilities come to the end of their operational lifetime, safe decommissioning becomes a more prevalent issue. In many such facilities there exist ‘nuclear caves’. These caves constitute areas that may have been entered infrequently, or ev... Read More about Characterisation of a nuclear cave environment utilising an autonomous swarm of heterogeneous robots.

A Novel Design for a Robot Grappling Hook for use in a Nuclear Cave Environment (2016)
Journal Article

© 2016 Within the field of robotics there exist few designs for detachable grappling hooks. This paper focusses on the novel design of a detachable grappling hook for use within a nuclear cave environment. The design seeks to exploit the complex netw...

Examining profiles for robotic risk assessment: Does a robot's approach to risk affect user trust?
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© 2020 Association for Computing Machinery. As autonomous robots move towards ubiquity, the need for robots to make decisions under risk that are trustworthy becomes increasingly significant; both to aid acceptance and to fully utilise their autonomo...
