Facial behaviour mapping-From video footage to a robot head (2008)
Journal Article
As autonomous robotic systems advance, they will be required and designed for interaction with humans in order to exchange information, which is essential for fulfilling their tasks. It is well established that human-machine interactions are more bel... Read More about Facial behaviour mapping-From video footage to a robot head.
Development of a new EDRNN procedure in control of human arm trajectories (2008)
Journal Article
In this paper the trajectory tracking control of a human arm moving on the sagittal plane is investigated by an interdisciplinary approach with the combination of neural network mapping, evolutionary computation, and dynamic system control. The arm i... Read More about Development of a new EDRNN procedure in control of human arm trajectories.
Biological computing using perfusion anodophile biofilm electrodes (PABE) (2008)
Journal Article
This paper presents a theoretical approach to biological computing, using biofilm electrodes by illustrating a simplified Pavlovian learning model. The theory behind this approach was based on empirical data produced from a prototype version of these... Read More about Biological computing using perfusion anodophile biofilm electrodes (PABE).
Machine configuration analysis using multi instance modelling (2008)
Journal Article
The design practices used within small special purpose machine design companies often mean that they produce machines that are tailored for the specific requirements of a customer. This can lead to an unnecessarily large family of machines, supported... Read More about Machine configuration analysis using multi instance modelling.
Adaptive observer-based non-linear stochastic system control with sliding mode schemes (2008)
Journal Article
In this paper, an adaptive sliding mode observer is designed to reconstruct the states of non-linear stochastic systems with uncertainties from the measurable system output and the reconstructed states are employed to construct a sliding mode control...

Microbial fuel cells based on carbon veil electrodes: Stack configuration and scalability (2008)
Journal Article
The aim of this study was to compare the performance of three different sizes of microbial fuel cell (MFC) when operated under continuous flow conditions using acetate as the fuel substrate and show how small-scale multiple units may be best configur...

A new admittance-type haptic interface for bimanual manipulations (2008)
Journal Article
The concept of a new mobile haptic interface for bimanual manipulations in 6 DOFs is presented. The design of this mobile haptic interface is based on a modular system consisting of two components: two admittance-type haptic interfaces and a mobile p...

The behaviour of ant transporters at the old and new nests during successive colony emigrations (2008)
Journal Article
Colonies of the ant Temnothorax albipennis improve their collective performance over successive emigrations (Langridge et al. Behav Ecol Sociobiol 56:523-529, 2004, Behav Ecol Sociobiol 62:447-456, 2008). Here, by analysing the performance of individ...

The k-tuple domination number revisited (2008)
Journal Article
The following fundamental result for the domination number γ (G) of a graph G was proved by Alon and Spencer, Arnautov, Lovász and Payan: γ (G) ≤ frac(ln (δ + 1) + 1, δ + 1) n, where n is the order and δ is the minimum degree of vertices of G. A simi... Read More about The k-tuple domination number revisited.
FPGA design and implementation for EIT data acquisition (2008)
Journal Article
OXBACT-5 was designed to meet the challenges involved in working in the intensive care hospital environment focussed particularly on thoracic imaging of patients with respiratory distress and chronic heart failure (CHF). The FPGA-based wireless LAN l... Read More about FPGA design and implementation for EIT data acquisition.
Modelling a wireless connected swarm of mobile robots (2008)
Journal Article
It is a characteristic of swarm robotics that modelling the overall swarm behaviour in terms of the low-level behaviours of individual robots is very difficult. Yet if swarm robotics is to make the transition from the laboratory to real-world enginee... Read More about Modelling a wireless connected swarm of mobile robots.
Combinação de abordagens GLSP e ATSP para o problema de dimensionamento e sequenciamento de lotes de produção de suplementos para nutrição animal (2008)
Journal Article
In this paper we study the combination of GLSP (General Lot Sizing and Scheduling Problem) and ATSP (Asymmetric Travelling Salesman Problem) approaches with sub-tour elimination and patching to a lot sizing and sequencing problem in the animal nutrit...

An adaptive gaze stabilization controller inspired by the vestibulo-ocular reflex (2008)
Journal Article
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...

Can ant colonies choose a far-and-away better nest over an in-the-way poor one? (2008)
Journal Article
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...

Two-dimensional BRDF estimation from polarisation (2008)
Journal Article
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.
Identification of Campylobacter infection in chickens from volatile faecal emissions (2008)
Journal Article
Volatile organic compounds from chicken faeces were investigated as biomarkers for Campylobacter infection. Campylobacter are major poultry-borne zoonotic pathogens, colonizing the avian intestinal tract. Chicken faeces are the principal source of co...

The system aims to measure in real-time the most... Read More about A real-time multi-channel monitoring system for stem cell culture process.
Reflectance of human skin using colour photometric stereo: With particular application to pigmented lesion analysis (2008)
Journal Article
Background/purpose: The optical appearance of human skin is highly dependent on the interaction between the illumination (type and position), observer position and the skin surface structure. Different currently available photographic techniques reco... Read More about Reflectance of human skin using colour photometric stereo: With particular application to pigmented lesion analysis.
