A methodology to support robotic polishing of moulds integrated with CAD/CAM (2023)
Journal Article

Typically, the final process in the manufacture of molds is mechanical polishing, a process predominantly conducted manually. This is an important process step to improve the surface quality of the mold without affecting the geometry of the cavity. C...

A hybrid approach to support robotic polishing process planning (2023)
Book Chapter

Currently, mechanical polishing and manual labour are used to complete the finishing stages of the manufacture of moulds. This stage of the procedure is not only the most expensive, but it is also currently experiencing a shortage of experienced peop...

GA-AHP Method to support robotic polishing process planning (2022)
Journal Article

The finishing stage of mould manufacturing is generally completed via mechanical polishing, manual conducted. Not only is this the most expensive phase of the process but also is currently struggling with a deficit of skilled workers. To address thes...

Usability study of a robot companion for monitoring industrial processes (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In this paper we present the findings of a usability study for a monitoring robotic unit tele-operated via a virtual fixtures (VF) based control framework. The study aims at investigating the impact of VF on the robot navigation as well as the impact... Read More about Usability study of a robot companion for monitoring industrial processes.

Towards collaborative robotic polishing of mould and die sets (2019)
Journal Article

Dies and moulds are fundamental elements in the manufacturing of a wide variety of products. The surface polishing of dies and moulds with complex features largely relies upon time-consuming manual work of skilled workers and, as a result of the dimi...

The analysis of tool wear mechanisms in the machining of pre-sintered zirconia dental crowns (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The growth of Digital Dentistry has opened new potentials in the dental restoration sector where personalised restorations could be made in a much shorter time than before. Zirconia has been widely used due to its excellent wear properties and bio-co... Read More about The analysis of tool wear mechanisms in the machining of pre-sintered zirconia dental crowns.

Robot companion for industrial process monitoring based on virtual fixtures (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© 2018 IEEE. In this paper, the use of a monitoring companion is proposed to more efficiently collect the process information during the tuning of industrial systems, and therefore to assist the system integrator in the optimization process for compl...
