Designing complex dynamics in cellular automata with memory (2013)
Journal Article

Since their inception at Macy conferences in later 1940s, complex systems have remained the most controversial topic of interdisciplinary sciences. The term "complex system" is the most vague and liberally used scientific term. Using elementary cellu... Read More about Designing complex dynamics in cellular automata with memory.

Incorporating clinical metadata with digital image features for automated identification of cutaneous melanoma (2013)
Journal Article

Abstract Background Computer-assisted diagnosis (CAD) of malignant melanoma (MM) has been advocated to help clinicians in achieving a more objective and reliable assessment. However, conventional CAD systems only examine the features extracted from...

Is social norms marketing effective?: A case study in domestic electricity consumption (2013)
Journal Article

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to present details of a large-scale experiment that evaluated the impact of communicating two types of feedback to householders regarding their domestic electricity consumption: feedback on their own consumption...

Face recognition and verification using photometric stereo: The photoface database and a comprehensive evaluation (2013)
Journal Article

This paper presents a new database suitable for both 2-D and 3-D face recognition based on photometric stereo (PS): the Photoface database. The database was collected using a custom-made four-source PS device designed to enable data capture with mini...

In vivo measurement of skin microrelief using photometric stereo in the presence of interreflections (2013)
Journal Article

This paper proposes and describes an implementation of a novel photometric stereo based technique for in vivo assessment of three-dimensional (3D) skin topography in the presence of interreflections. The proposed method illuminates skin with red, gr... Read More about In vivo measurement of skin microrelief using photometric stereo in the presence of interreflections.

Toward turing’s A-type unorganised machines in an unconventional substrate: A dynamic representation in compartmentalised excitable chemical media (2013)
Book Chapter

© Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2013. Turing presented a general representation scheme by which to achieve artificial intelligence – unorganised machines. Significantly, these were a form of discrete dynamical system and yet such representations...

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...

SABRE: A bio-inspired fault-tolerant electronic architecture (2013)
Journal Article

As electronic devices become increasingly complex, ensuring their reliable, fault-free operation is becoming correspondingly more challenging. It can be observed that, in spite of their complexity, biological systems are highly reliable and fault tol... Read More about SABRE: A bio-inspired fault-tolerant electronic architecture.

Investigating real world issues in human robot interaction: Physical and cognitive solutions for a safe robotic system
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In service robotics, safety is of primary importance. In the EU funded INTRO project1 , safety has been considered from the perspectives of both ‘cognitive’ and physical HumanRobot Interaction (cogHRI and pHRI for brevity). INTRO project researchers...

Time-dependent wave selection for information processing in excitable media (2012)
Journal Article

We demonstrate an improved technique for implementing logic circuits in light-sensitive chemical excitable media. The technique makes use of the constant-speed propagation of waves along defined channels in an excitable medium based on the Belousov-Z...

The emergence of action sequences from spatial attention: Insight from rodent-like robots (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Animal behaviour is rich, varied, and smoothly integrated. One plausible model of its generation is that behavioural sub-systems compete to command effectors. In small terrestrial mammals, many behaviours are underpinned by foveation, since important...

On architectures of circuits implemented in simulated Belousov-Zhabotinsky droplets (2012)
Journal Article

When lipid vesicles filled with Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) excitable chemical medium are packed in tight assembles, waves of excitation may travel between the vesicles. When several waves meet in a vesicle some fragments may deflect, others can annihi... Read More about On architectures of circuits implemented in simulated Belousov-Zhabotinsky droplets.

Towards an anthropomorphic design of minimally invasive instrumentation for soft tissue robotic surgery (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Minimally invasive procedures, such as laparoscopy, have significantly decreased blood loss, postoperative morbidity and length of hospital stay. Robot-assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) has offered refined accuracy and more ergonomic instrume...

A robust multi-scale integration method to obtain the depth from gradient maps (2012)
Journal Article

We describe a robust method for the recovery of the depth map (or height map) from a gradient map (or normal map) of a scene, such as would be obtained by photometric stereo or interferometry. Our method allows for uncertain or missing samples, which... Read More about A robust multi-scale integration method to obtain the depth from gradient maps.

The world's colonization and trade routes formation as imitated by slime mould (2012)
Journal Article

The plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum is renowned for spanning sources of nutrients with networks of protoplasmic tubes. The networks transport nutrients and metabolites across the plasmodium's body. To imitate a hypothetical colonization of the wo...
