CADubator provides paid work experience to engineering students
A new program named CADubator has been set up in the engineering department of the College of Business, Technology and Engineering at Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ for students to gain paid work experience
Polymers and Nanocomposites
The interests of the Polymers, Composites and Spectroscopy Group (PCAS) encompass polymers, minerals and composites
Self Assembly of Fibres and Ribbons
In this work, we are using molecular dynamics simulation to investigate the principles by which highly anisotropic nanostructures nucleate and grow
Modelling Clay Polymer Nanocomposites
In collaboration with Prof Chris Breen and colleagues, we have been using molecular-resolution simulations of clay galleries to investigate detailed structural behaviours that underpin coating treatments used for food packaging applications.
MiCRoN
Microscopes have very limited depth-of-focus. This imposes a variety of constraints when building imaging and vision solutions for microscopes. The MMVL vision software for the MiCRoN-project uses a geometric hashing technique to compare all images in an image stack with the scene
GUARDIANS project
A successful completion of a ground-breaking project the GUARDIANS at the Mobile Machine and Vision Laboratory at Centre for Automation and Robotics Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ at Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ
Engineering project could lead to robotic 'guide dogs'
A new project which brings humans and robots together could help firefighters tackle low visibility and, eventually, provide a robotic alternative to guide dogs for visually-impaired people
Viewfinder
The Viewfinder project built an autonomous robotic system to establish ground safety in the event of a fire.
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.
I-Swarm - Intelligent Small World Autonomous Robots for Micro-Manipulation
The I-SWARM project was awarded in December 2003 under the European Union Information Society Technologies (IST) 6th framework programme. It is a follow-up of the MiCRoN project.
