Characterisation and optimisation of the zenithal bistable device
The zenithal bistable device (ZBD) is a bistable LCD device with major optical, mechanical and operational advantages over other bistable technologies
The lattice Boltzmann method
Lattice Boltzmann has been used as the host of the hydrodynamics simulation. It is a fairly recent method based on the well known Boltzmann probability distribution function. The following aims to give the reader the essential concept of lattice Boltzmann.
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)
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
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 Research at Sheffield Hallam University
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.
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.
Miniman
The MINIMAN project concerns the development of a smart microrobot with five degrees of freedom and a size of few centimetres squared
Viewfinder
The Viewfinder project built an autonomous robotic system to establish ground safety in the event of a fire.
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
