Are complex systems hard to evolve? (2009)
Journal Article

Evolutionary complexity is measured here by the number of trials/evaluations needed for evolving a logical gate in a nonlinear medium. Behavioral complexity of the gates evolved is characterized in terms of cellular automata behavior. We speculate th... Read More about Are complex systems hard to evolve?.

On simultaneous construction of Voronoi diagram and delaunay triangulation by physarum polycephalum (2009)
Journal Article

We experimentally demonstrate that both Voronoi diagram and its dual graph Delaunay triangulation are simultaneously constructed for specific conditions in cultures of plasmodium, a vegetative state of Physarum polycephalum. Every point of a given pl... Read More about On simultaneous construction of Voronoi diagram and delaunay triangulation by physarum polycephalum.

Heart robot: a public engagement project (2009)
Journal Article

Heart Robot was a public engagement project funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). The aim of the project was to challenge cultural perceptions of robots, and to stimulate thought and debate
in members of the gener... Read More about Heart robot: a public engagement project.

Simple collision-based chemical logic gates with adaptive computing (2009)
Journal Article

Chemical tessellations (2009)
Journal Article

We report a simple set of chemical reactions based on the reaction of a range of metal salts with potassium ferricyanide loaded gels that spontaneously produce complex and colorful tessellations of the plane. These reactions provide a great resource... Read More about Chemical tessellations.

Facial behaviour mapping-From video footage to a robot head (2008)
Journal Article

As autonomous robotic systems advance, they will be required and designed for interaction with humans in order to exchange information, which is essential for fulfilling their tasks. It is well established that human-machine interactions are more bel... Read More about Facial behaviour mapping-From video footage to a robot head.

A robot manipulator communications and control framework (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The use of industrial scale experimental machinery robot systems such as the Mitsubishi RV-2AJ manipulator in research to experimentally prove new theories is a great opportunity. The robot manipulator communications and control framework written in... Read More about A robot manipulator communications and control framework.

Dynamic control and information processing in the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction using a coevolutionary algorithm (2008)
Journal Article

We propose that the behavior of nonlinear media can be controlled dynamically through coevolutionary systems. In this study, a light-sensitive subexcitable Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction is controlled using a heterogeneous cellular automaton. A checke...

An adaptive gaze stabilization controller inspired by the vestibulo-ocular reflex (2008)
Journal Article

The vestibulo-ocular reflex stabilizes vision in many vertebrates. It integrates inertial and visual information to drive the eyes in the opposite direction to head movement and thereby stabilizes the image on the retina. Its adaptive nature guarante...

Two-dimensional BRDF estimation from polarisation (2008)
Journal Article

This paper presents a novel technique for reflectance function (BRDF) estimation, which uses polarisation information and photometric stereo. The first stage of the technique is standard and involves the acquisition of polarisation information (angle... Read More about Two-dimensional BRDF estimation from polarisation.
