Robotic hand posture and compliant grasping control using operational space and integral sliding mode control (2014)
Journal Article
Khan, S. G., Herrmann, G., Jalani, J., Mahyuddin, M. N., Khan, S. G., & Melhuish, C. (2016). Robotic hand posture and compliant grasping control using operational space and integral sliding mode control. Robotica, 34(10), 2163-2185. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0263574714002811

© 2014 Cambridge University Press. This paper establishes a novel approach of robotic hand posture and grasping control. For this purpose, the control uses the operational space approach. This permits the consideration of the shape of the object to b... Read More about Robotic hand posture and compliant grasping control using operational space and integral sliding mode control.

Simultaneous electricity generation and microbially-assisted electrosynthesis in MFCs (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Gajda, I., Greenman, J., Melhuish, C., & Ieropoulos, I. (2014, October). Simultaneous electricity generation and microbially-assisted electrosynthesis in MFCs. Paper presented at 226th ECS Meeting,Electrochemical Society, Cancun, Mexico

Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) are bio-electrochemical transducers that generate electricity as a direct result of microbial metabolism, when breaking down organic matter for continuous growth and maintenance. On the other hand, Microbial Electrolysis C... Read More about Simultaneous electricity generation and microbially-assisted electrosynthesis in MFCs.

Artificial photosynthesis coupled with electricity generation - microbial fuel cells as artificial plants (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Gajda, I., Greenman, J., Stinchcombe, A., Melhuish, C., & Ieropoulos, I. (2014, July). Artificial photosynthesis coupled with electricity generation - microbial fuel cells as artificial plants. Paper presented at ALIFE 14: The Fourteenth International Conference on the Synthesis and Simulation of Living Systems, NY, USA

To meet the global goal of carbon reduction process there is a need to develop an artificial system that may act as an autonomous CO2 scrubber. This paper describes the direct electricity generation by the Microbial Fuel Cell with the simultaneous bi...

Water formation at the cathode and sodium recovery using Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) (2014)
Journal Article
Gajda, I., Greenman, J., Melhuish, C., Santoro, C., Li, B., Cristiani, P., & Ieropoulos, I. (2014). Water formation at the cathode and sodium recovery using Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs). Sustainable Energy Technologies and Assessments, 7, 187-194. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.seta.2014.05.001

Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) utilise biodegradable carbon compounds in organic waste to generate electric current. The aim of this work was to enhance MFC performance by using low cost and catalyst (platinum)-free cathode materials. The results showed...

With exhausting fossil fuels and increasing greenhouse gas emissions, numerous attempts, to overcome future energy challenges, are being pursued. In this study, small-scale microbial fuel cells (MFCs, 0.7mL anodic chamber volume) were built to invest... Read More about Small-scale microbial fuel cells utilising uric salts.

Text line aggregation (2014)
Conference Proceeding
Beck, C., Broun, A., Mirmehdi, M., Pipe, T., & Melhuish, C. (2014). Text line aggregation. In M. De Marsico, A. Tabbone, & A. Fred (Eds.), Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Pattern Recognition Applications and Methods (393-401). https://doi.org/10.5220/0004817903930401

We present a new approach to text line aggregation that can work as both a line formation stage for a myriad of text segmentation methods (over all orientations) and as an extra level of filtering to remove false text candidates. The proposed method... Read More about Text line aggregation.
