Conference Proceeding
Lowe, R., Montebelli, A., Ieropoulos, I., Greenman, J., Melhuish, C., & Ziemke, T. (2010). Grounding motivation in energy autonomy: A study of artificial metabolism constrained robot dynamics. In H. Fellermann, M. Hanczyc, & M. Dorr (Eds.), Artificial Life XII: Proceedings of the 12th International Conference on the Synthesis and Simulation of Living Systems. , (725-732)

We present an evolutionary robotics investigation into the metabolism constrained homeostatic dynamics of a simulated robot. Unlike existing research that has focused on either energy or motivation autonomy the robot described here is considered in t...

Development of non-destructive heat resistance evaluation system for TBC on gas turbine blade (2010)
Conference Proceeding
Fujioka, T., Sakai, E., Takahashi, T., Fujii, T., Chandra, B., Simmons, K., …Tittel, M. (2010). Development of non-destructive heat resistance evaluation system for TBC on gas turbine blade. In Volume 1: Aircraft Engine; Ceramics; Coal, Biomass and Alternative Fuels; Education; Electric Power; Manufacturing Materials and Metallurgy (125-131). https://doi.org/10.1115/GT2010-22631

The use of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) is the key technique for realizing high-efficiency gas turbine combined cycles. Hence, TBCs are applied to various hot gas path components such as combustors, blades, and vanes. The application of a TBC caus...

Attitude control of a micro-satellite is analyzed with sliding control method. With this method, attitude dynamics of satellite is robust against uncertainties and unknown disturbances. Nonlinear and coupled model in this paper is utilized and to pre... Read More about Sliding mode control of a microsatellite attitude.

High speed, multi-scale tracing of curvilinear features with automated scale selection and enhanced orientation computation (2010)
Conference Proceeding

Smari (Ed.), International Conference on High Performance Computing and Simulation (HPCS), 2010 (410-417). https://doi.org/10.1109/HPCS.2010.5547105

We propose a new high speed line tracing algorithm based on a well known differential geometric line extraction algorithm. The previously separate steps of line detection and line tracing are performed simultaneously. This allows the exclusion of non...
