The project's aim is to design a companion robot which will move around in a residential area, home or care home.

The ability of a polymer to gel when subjected to stimuli is of considerable importance in the production of smart polymers

Corrosion tests can be performed on metals, alloys and metallic coatings, such as hot-dip and electroplated surfaces

The competitive movement of small molecules through polymers, membranes and constitutes an important phenomenon in many applications

Nowadays, coatings with good wear and corrosion resistance consist in high thickness Ni or hard Cr coatings from electrochemical processes

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

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

One of our robotics experts, Dr Jacques Penders, is working with South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service and a number of European partners to develop palm-sized robots, named the Guardians and the Viewfinders, which will soon be the first to enter burning buildings
