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.

Unmanning UAVs: Addressing challenges in on-board planning and decision making (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Narayan, P. P., Wu, P. P., & Campbell, D. A. (2008, September). Unmanning UAVs: Addressing challenges in on-board planning and decision making. Paper presented at First International Conference on Humans Operating Unmanned Systems HUMOUS'08, Brest, France

Planning and decision making, especially the planning of dynamically negotiable collision free paths, is an integral part in the operation of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Effective path planning ensures that the UAV operates safely, and conforms... Read More about Unmanning UAVs: Addressing challenges in on-board planning and decision making.

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...

Two-dimensional BRDF estimation from polarisation (2008)
Journal Article
Atkinson, G., & Hancock, E. R. (2008). Two-dimensional BRDF estimation from polarisation. Computer Vision and Image Understanding, 111(2), 126-141. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cviu.2007.09.005

This paper presents a novel technique for reflectance function (BRDF) estimation, which uses polarisation information and photometric stereo. The first stage of the technique is standard and involves the acquisition of polarisation information (angle... Read More about Two-dimensional BRDF estimation from polarisation.

Can ant colonies choose a far-and-away better nest over an in-the-way poor one? (2008)
Journal Article
Robinson, E. J., Sullivan, K. M., Franks, N. R., Hardcastle, K. A., Collins, S., Smith, F. D., & Sendova-Franks, A. B. (2008). Can ant colonies choose a far-and-away better nest over an in-the-way poor one?. Animal Behaviour, 76(2), 323-334. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anbehav.2008.02.009

Nest choice in the ant Temnothorax albipennis is a model system for investigating collective decision making. Previous research has demonstrated the sophistication of this decentralized system, yet such studies have focused on binary choices in which...

Combining goal inference and natural-language dialogue for human-robot joint action (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Foster, M. E., Giuliani, M., Müller, T., Knoll, A., Erlhagen, W., Bicho, E., …Louro, L. (2008, July). Combining goal inference and natural-language dialogue for human-robot joint action. Paper presented at International Workshop on Combinations of Intelligent Methods and Applications, European Conference on Artificial Intelligence, Patras, Greece

We demonstrate how combining the reasoning components from two existing systems designed for human-robot joint action produces an integrated system with greater capabilities than either of the individual systems. One of the systems supports primaril... Read More about Combining goal inference and natural-language dialogue for human-robot joint action.
