Our methodology to design and embed the robot among th... Read More about UNICEF guidance on AI for children: Application to the design of a social robot for and with autistic children.

Investigating Browne's method (2021)
Presentation / Conference
Obodo, S., Toher, D., & White, P. (2021, September). Investigating Browne's method. Poster presented at Statistics at Bristol: Future Reserach and You 2021, Bristol

Results supports Browne’s procedure of pilot sample size determination. However the data reveals that the procedure underestimates and overestimates sample size. Fig. 1 shows 𝛼 and 𝛽 have no practical effect on degree of excess which increases as... Read More about Investigating Browne's method.

Educating engineers to contribute to a regional goal of net zero carbon emissions by 2030 (2021)
Presentation / Conference
Fogg-Rogers, L., Richardson, D., Bakthavatchaalam, V., Yeomans, L., Algosaibi, N., Lamere, M., & Fowles-Sweet, W. (2021, June). Educating engineers to contribute to a regional goal of net zero carbon emissions by 2030. Paper presented at Le développement durable dans la formation et les activités d’ingénieur, Online, France

The environmental and health impacts of climate change and biodiversity loss are now apparent and yet cohesive policymaking to mitigate emissions is moving too slowly. The UK's target for carbon neutrality has been set for 2050, but this has been sup... Read More about Educating engineers to contribute to a regional goal of net zero carbon emissions by 2030.

Modelling of the materials classification of in-orbit debris using DISCOSweb and other sources (2021)
Presentation / Conference
Toomer, C., Bolouri, A., Thompson, A., & Yalung, F. (2021, June). Modelling of the materials classification of in-orbit debris using DISCOSweb and other sources. Paper presented at Reinventing Space 2021, London

Space debris is a topic of growing concern as the space industry evolves. This paper describes the findings of a new model used to classify the materials used in current orbital objects. It utilises data from sources including ESA’s DISCOS (Database... Read More about Modelling of the materials classification of in-orbit debris using DISCOSweb and other sources.
