The REINS Project
The REINS Project aims to develop a semi-autonomous mobile robot with sensory capabilities that can be shared with humans
Miniaturised Cooperative Robots Advancing Towards the Nano Range
The MiCRoN project was awarded on 8 March 2002 under the European Union Information Society Technologies (IST) 5th framework programme. It is a follow-up of the Miniman project.
Smart Interactive Technologies
This research group is interested in innovative research and developments investigating all the aspects of modelling and applying physical and intelligent systems, which coexist harmoniously with people and other artificial agents in complex real-world environments
Robot tool positioning and alignment
One of the main applications of machine vision in industry is in the alignment and positioning of tools that are used in a large variety of tasks
3D visualisation
We can offer licensing and other forms of cooperation concerning the developed products; consultancy in 3D modelling and data analysis; and longer term research cooperation in modelling, computer vision, real-time equipment control and robotics.
Value stream mapping
Value Stream Mapping provides a diagrammatic depiction of the entire supply chain to ensure a complete and shared understanding of what is happening at the different stages within it
Lean manufacture
Our academics and consultants can help in determining opportunities for cost effective productivity and efficiency increases, can assist in the reduction of waste from the manufacturing process and increase efficiency of production processes by automation
5S
The 5 s'are prerequisites for any improvement program. As waste is potential gain, so eliminating waste is a gain. 5S philosophy focuses on effective workplace organisation, simplifies work environment, and reduces waste while improving quality and safety.
Simulation of engineering environments
We provide a broad range of consultancy services which draw on a unique combination of systems engineering, operational analysis and technology capabilities
Object recognition and tracking
Over the years, we have developed several techniques for recognising and tracking 2D and 3D objects in real-time. These techniques are able to cope with variability of the lighting conditions, presence of clutter, background texture and general image noise.
