The triangle of life: Evolving robots in real-time and real-space (2013)
Presentation / Conference
Eiben, A. E., Bredeche, N., Hoogendoorn, M., Stradner, J., Timmis, J., Tyrrell, A., & Winfield, A. F. (2013, September). The triangle of life: Evolving robots in real-time and real-space. Paper presented at European Conference on Artificial Life (ECAL) 2013, Taormina, Italy

Evolutionary robotics is heading towards fully embodied evolution in real-time and real-space. In this paper we introduce the Triangle of Life, a generic conceptual framework for such systems in which robots can actually reproduce. This framework can...

Power generation and contaminant removal in single chamber microbial fuel cells (SCMFCs) treating human urine (2013)
Journal Article
Greenman, J., Ieropoulos, I., Santoro, C., Ieropoulos, I., Greenman, J., Cristiani, P., …Li, B. (2013). Power generation and contaminant removal in single chamber microbial fuel cells (SCMFCs) treating human urine. International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, 38(26), 11543-11551. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijhydene.2013.02.070

The potential of single chamber microbial fuel cells (SCMFC) to treat raw, fresh human urine was investigated. The power generation (55 μW) of the SCMFCs with platinum (Pt)-based cathode was higher than those with Pt-free cathodes (23 μW) at the begi...
