Bioinspired control of electro-active polymers for next generation soft robots (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
The emerging field of soft robotics offers the prospect of replacing existing hard actuator technologies with new soft-smart materials [7]. Such materials have the potential to form a key component of safer, more compliant and light-weight robots. So...

On fault tolerance and scalability of swarm robotic systems (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
This paper challenges the common assumption that swarm robotic systems are robust and scalable by default. We present an analysis based on both reliability modelling and experimental trials of a case study swarm performing team work, in which failure...

Reactive coordination and adaptive lattice formation in mobile robotic surveillance swarms (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
We present here a set of decentralised control laws to facilitate lattice formation and reactive coordination and control of a swarm of mobile ground based robots. The control laws rely on local, indirect communication, which we implement in the form... Read More about Reactive coordination and adaptive lattice formation in mobile robotic surveillance swarms.
Cultural impacts in project organisations: Emerging research questions (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Svetlana will bring her critical perspective to an examination of culture in projects. She will highlight the importance of the relational in manifestations of project cultures through looking at issues of agency, risk and social psychology of trust....

TACTIP - Tactile fingertip device, challenges in reduction of size to ready for robot hand integration (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Previous work on the TACTIP project has demonstrated a prototype tactile fingertip device, at a little over twice the diameter(40mm) of a human fingertip (16-20mm). Unlike most other developed MEMS sensors, the TACTIP device is appropriate for all ta...

EACR poster prize winner for "Autolysosomal β-catenin degradation regulates Wnt-autophagy/p62 crosstalk" (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
(EACR Poster Prize) The Wnt/β-catenin signalling and autophagy pathways each play important roles during development, adult tissue homeostasis and tumorigenesis. Here we identify the Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway as a negative regulator of both ba...

From political economy to economics and beyond (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ben Fine and Dimitris Milonakis have done political economy a great service by drawing attention to the insights lost in the twists, turns and reductions in the transition from political economy to economics. These two volumes constitute a solid foun... Read More about From political economy to economics and beyond.
Generation of texture in continuous tone digital images (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
In a digital age where artists and printers are required to learn a wide range of skills, from graphic design to colour science, is it possible to return to a more artistic application of colour, tone and texture with a mechanically printed image usi...

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Stochastic drought quantification for the South Canadian Prairie (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
For formulating robust adaptation policies under nonstationary climate, drought processes need to be characterised and modelled adequately. As a case study, the major drought episode in the early 2000s in the South Canadian Prairie is investigated us... Read More about Stochastic drought quantification for the South Canadian Prairie.
A stochastic assessment of climate change impacts on precipitation and potential evaporation in Alberta (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
In many climate change investigations, changes in precipitation are projected under various scenarios; however, changes in evaporation have received relatively less attention. For irrigation and water resources management, the difference between pote... Read More about A stochastic assessment of climate change impacts on precipitation and potential evaporation in Alberta.
