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
-
Dementia and Robots
Researchers at Sheffield Hallam University have been looking into a robotic solution to help people with advancing dementia to maintain safe exercise regimes
-
Robotic Evolutionary Self-Programming and Self-Assembling Organisms
The REPLICATOR project started in March 2008 under the European Union's 7th framework programme, in the theme of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)
-
Viewfinder
The Viewfinder project built an autonomous robotic system to establish ground safety in the event of a fire.
-
BREATHEASY project
Sheffield Hallam University and the NHS's development of a non-contact, hand-held device, called ‘BREATHEASY’ is for measurement of respiration rates
-
Providing accurate ways of monitoring children's respiration
Our client, Sheffield Children's Hospital, identified a need to develop new equipment to monitor the respiration activity of patients. They approached our Materials and Engineering Research Institute for help
-
Miniman
The MINIMAN project concerns the development of a smart microrobot with five degrees of freedom and a size of few centimetres squared
-
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
-
The REINS Project
The REINS Project aims to develop a semi-autonomous mobile robot with sensory capabilities that can be shared with humans
-
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.
