Contact type dependency of texture classification in a whiskered mobile robot (2009)
Journal Article
Fox, C. W., Mitchinson, B., Pearson, M., Pipe, A. G., & Prescott, T. J. (2009). Contact type dependency of texture classification in a whiskered mobile robot. Autonomous Robots, 26(4), 223-239. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10514-009-9109-z

Actuated artificial whiskers modeled on rat macrovibrissae can provide effective tactile sensor systems for autonomous robots. This article focuses on texture classification using artificial whiskers and addresses a limitation of previous studies, na...

Cerebellar-inspired adaptive control of a robot eye actuated by pneumatic artificial Muscles (2009)
Journal Article
Anderson, S. R., Lenz, A., Anderson, S. A., Pipe, A. G., Melhuish, C., Dean, P., & Porrill, J. (2009). Cerebellar-inspired adaptive control of a robot eye actuated by pneumatic artificial Muscles. IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, Part B: Cybernetics, 39(6), 1420-1433. https://doi.org/10.1109/TSMCB.2009.2018138

In this paper, a model of cerebellar function is implemented and evaluated in the control of a robot eye actuated by pneumatic artificial muscles. The investigated control problem is stabilization of the visual image in response to disturbances. This...

An adaptive gaze stabilization controller inspired by the vestibulo-ocular reflex (2008)
Journal Article
Lenz, A., Balakrishnan, T., Pipe, A. G., & Melhuish, C. (2008). An adaptive gaze stabilization controller inspired by the vestibulo-ocular reflex. Bioinspiration and Biomimetics, 3(3), https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-3182/3/3/035001

The vestibulo-ocular reflex stabilizes vision in many vertebrates. It integrates inertial and visual information to drive the eyes in the opposite direction to head movement and thereby stabilizes the image on the retina. Its adaptive nature guarante...

Application of Multi-Agent Technology to Fault Diagnosis of Power Distribution Systems (2005)
Journal Article
Yang, J., Montakhab, M., Pipe, A. G., Carse, B., & Davies, T. S. (2005). Application of Multi-Agent Technology to Fault Diagnosis of Power Distribution Systems. International Journal of Intelligent Information Technologies, 1(2), 1-16. https://doi.org/10.4018/jiit.2005040101

When a fault occurs in a power system, the protective relays detect the fault and trip appropriate circuit breakers, which isolate the affected equipment from the rest of the power system. Fault diagnosis of power systems is the process of identifyin... Read More about Application of Multi-Agent Technology to Fault Diagnosis of Power Distribution Systems.
