Humanoid robot avatars: An 'in the wild' usability study (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Bremner, P., Koschate, M., & Levine, M. (2016). Humanoid robot avatars: An 'in the wild' usability study. In 2016 25th IEEE International Symposium on Robot and Human Interactive Communication (RO-MAN) (624-629). https://doi.org/10.1109/ROMAN.2016.7745183

In this paper, we report a breaching study to explore the use of a tele-operated humanoid avatar from both the perspective of the robot operator and the perspective of interlocutors. Humanoid robot avatars provide capabilities that video conferencing... Read More about Humanoid robot avatars: An 'in the wild' usability study.

Spatial analysis and simulation of extreme coastal flooding scenarios for national-scale emergency planning (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Wyncoll, D., Haigh, I., Gouldby, B., Hames, D., Laeger, S., Wall, A., …Hammond, A. (2016). Spatial analysis and simulation of extreme coastal flooding scenarios for national-scale emergency planning. In 3rd European Conference on Flood Risk Management. https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/20160701001

The UK has a long history of coastal flooding, driven by large-scale low-pressure weather systems which can result in flooding over large spatial areas. Traditional coastal flood risk analysis is, however, often undertaken at local scales and hence d...

Methodology to assess coastal infrastructure resilience to climate change (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Roca, M., Hames, D., Gouldby, B., Zve, E., Rowlands, O., Barter, P., & Grew, J. (2016). Methodology to assess coastal infrastructure resilience to climate change. In 3rd European Conference on Flood Risk Management. https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/20160702004

The section of railway which runs along the coastline of south Devon in United Kingdom, from Exeter to Newton Abbot, is one of the most photographed sections of railway in the world. It was opened in 1846 with embankments and seawalls protecting and... Read More about Methodology to assess coastal infrastructure resilience to climate change.

National scale multivariate extreme value modelling of waves, winds and sea levels (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Gouldby, B., Wyncoll, D., Panzeri, M., Franklin, M., Hunt, T., Tozer, N., …Hawkes, P. (2016). National scale multivariate extreme value modelling of waves, winds and sea levels. In 3rd European Conference on Flood Risk Management. https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/20160701007

It has long been recognised that extreme coastal flooding can arise from the joint occurrence of extreme waves, winds and sea levels. The standard simplified joint probability approach used in England and Wales can result in an underestimation of flo...

Implementing sustainable construction principles and practices by key stakeholders (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Maduka, N., Greenwood, D., Osborne, A., & Udeaja, C. (2016). Implementing sustainable construction principles and practices by key stakeholders. In Proceedings of the 2016 Modular and Offsite Construction (MOC) Summit (115-122). https://doi.org/10.29173/mocs15

The term ‘sustainable construction’ is used to highlight the responsibility of the construction industry in attaining sustainable development (SD). With the increasing necessity for resource efficiency and climate change adaptation, there is a need f...

Preliminary numerical simulations to investigate the kinematics of infant head impact (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Khalid, G. A., Prabhu, R., Mason-Jones, A., Theobald, P. S., Soe, S. P., & Jones, M. D. (2016). Preliminary numerical simulations to investigate the kinematics of infant head impact. In ACME - UK 2016 24th Conference on Computational Mechanics (176-179)

Presented is the development of a simulation that allows for preliminary investigation of impact to a 10 day old infant head. A computer-aided drafting (CAD) model is reconstructed from high resolution computerised tomography (CT) scan images and mes...

Chattering analysis of second order sliding mode algorithms for linear plants with disturbance (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Poorinezhad, S., & Rakhtala, S. M. (2016). Chattering analysis of second order sliding mode algorithms for linear plants with disturbance. In 2015 2nd International Conference on Knowledge-Based Engineering and Innovation (KBEI) (101-105). https://doi.org/10.1109/KBEI.2015.7436029

An analysis of second-order sliding-mode algorithms, specially of super-twisting and twisting as a filter algorithm is performed in frequency domain with the use of the describing function method, and is shown that periodic motion happens and the par...
