Simultaneous localisation and mapping on a multi-degree of freedom biomimetic whiskered robot (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

A biomimetic mobile robot called 'Shrewbot' has been built as part of a neuroethological study of the mammalian facial whisker sensory system. This platform has been used to further evaluate the problem space of whisker based tactile Simultaneous Loc...

Biomimetic tactile target acquisition, tracking and capture (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Good performance in unstructured/uncertain environments is an ongoing problem in robotics; in biology, it is an everyday observation. Here, we model a particular biological system - hunting in the Etruscan shrew - as a case study in biomimetic robot... Read More about Biomimetic tactile target acquisition, tracking and capture.

Joint conferences - TAROS 2012 and FIRA 2012 (2013)
Journal Article

This special issue contains ten extended, peer-reviewed papers specially selected from 36 full papers [1] and presented at the joint conferences of TAROS 2012 (Towards Autonomous Robotic Systems 2012) and FIRA 2012 (the Robot World Congress of the F...

Involving patients and the public in healthcare operational research-The challenges and opportunities (2013)
Journal Article

Interest is growing internationally in the potential benefits of patient and public involvement (PPI) in research. In the United Kingdom (UK) health and social care services are now committed to involving patients and service users in the planning, d...

The effect of whisker movement on radial distance estimation: A case study in comparative robotics (2013)
Journal Article

Whisker movement has been shown to be under active control in certain specialist
animals such as rats and mice. Though this whisker movement is well characterized,
the role and effect of this movement on subsequent sensing is poorly understood. One... Read More about The effect of whisker movement on radial distance estimation: A case study in comparative robotics.
