Examination of the gastrointestinal(GI) tract has traditionally been performed using tethered endoscopy tools with limited reach and more recently with passive untethered capsule endoscopy with limited capability. Inspection of small intestines is on... Read More about Towards tactile sensing active capsule endoscopy.

Experiments in artificial theory of mind: From safety to story-telling (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018 Winfield. Theory of mind is the term given by philosophers and psychologists for the ability to form a predictive model of self and others. In this paper we focus on synthetic models of theory of mind. We contend firstly that such models-espec... Read More about Experiments in artificial theory of mind: From safety to story-telling.

Combining opinion pooling and evidential updating for multi-agent consensus (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The evidence available to a multi-agent system can take at least two distinct forms. There can be direct evidence from the environment resulting, for example, from sensor measurements or from running tests or experiments. In addition, agents also gai...

On the relationship between benchmarking, standards and certification in robotics and AI (2024)
Book Chapter

Benchmarking, standards and certification are closely related processes. Standards can provide normative requirements that robotics and AI systems may or may not conform to. Certification generally relies upon conformance with one or more standards a... Read More about On the relationship between benchmarking, standards and certification in robotics and AI.

Research for alternative material and its effect on seed germination in seed tapes products (2018)
Thesis

‘Seed tapes’ are a length of biodegradable tissue paper, acting as a carrier, containing seeds. The seed tape is unrolled into a shallow trench and covered with soil, ensuring that all seeds are planted at even intervals. Manufacturers in the seed ta...

Mapping Intelligence: Requirements and Possibilities (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2018. New types of artificial intelligence (AI), from cognitive assistants to social robots, are challenging meaningful comparison with other kinds of intelligence. How can such intelligent systems be catalogued, eval... Read More about Mapping Intelligence: Requirements and Possibilities.

Audio Localization for Robots Using Parallel Cerebellar Models (2018)
Journal Article

© 2016 IEEE. A robot audio localization system is presented that combines the outputs of multiple adaptive filter models of the Cerebellum to calibrate a robot's audio map for various acoustic environments. The system is inspired by the MOdular Selec... Read More about Audio Localization for Robots Using Parallel Cerebellar Models.

A two teraflop swarm (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018 Jones, Studley, Hauert and Winfield. We introduce the Xpuck swarm, a research platform with an aggregate raw processing power in excess of two teraflops. The swarm uses 16 e-puck robots augmented with custom hardware that uses the substantial... Read More about A two teraflop swarm.

ROS-Unity3D based system for monitoring of an industrial robotic process (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© 2017 IEEE. Planning and monitoring the manufacturing of high quality one-of-a-kind products are challenging tasks. In the implementation of an industrial system, the commissioning phase is typically comprised of a programming phase and an optimizat...

Automatically Classifying User Engagement for Dynamic Multi-party Human–Robot Interaction (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017, The Author(s). A robot agent designed to engage in real-world human–robot joint action must be able to understand the social states of the human users it interacts with in order to behave appropriately. In particular, in a dynamic public spac... Read More about Automatically Classifying User Engagement for Dynamic Multi-party Human–Robot Interaction.

Supervised Autonomy for Online Learning in Human-Robot Interaction (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 When a robot is learning it needs to explore its environment and how its environment responds on its actions.
