Human-Robot Interaction
CARR includes years of experience with direct ('in-the-field') human robot interaction as well as assistive robotics and robotic machines and aids in dangerous or low-visibility conditions
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.
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
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
Motion models of mobile robots
Details of motion models of mobile robots project undertaken by Sheffield Hallam University's Materials and Engineering Research Institute
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.
ELASTOMERS Project
Sheffield Hallam University's ELASTOMERS Project aims at developing innovative composite end effectors for handling lightweight, flexible elastomers
Viewfinder
The Viewfinder project built an autonomous robotic system to establish ground safety in the event of a fire.
The use of confocal raman microspectroscopy in depth profiling polymer films
In collaboration with the Instituto de Cienncia y Tecnologia de Polimeros (Madrid) we have examined the extent of the surface modification of a polymeric membrane. The polymer (PVC) was modified according to the following reaction scheme
Fire retardant clay-polymer nanocomposites - SUREFIRE
The SUREFIRE project was undertaken to develop a brand-new class of materials that provide strength, stiffness, hardness and fire performance properties to compete with conventional materials such as steel or concrete.
