Case studies and research conducted at National HIPIMS Technology Centre

This project is a collaboration between the Biomolecular Sciences Research Centre (BMRC) and MERI, initially funded by SCH, with further funding via a SHU VC PhD scholarship matched by an external biomedical devices company. The overarching aim of the project is to develop a range of ‘auxetic’ porous scaffolds for eventual tissue engineering applications, which mimic the mechanical properties of soft tissues, promote migration, adhesion and differentiation of cells, and enable delivery of bioactive components.

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

A software for automatically segmenting dissimilar regions in medical images acquired with magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography or ultrasonography has been developed and implemented

This project is focussed on developing new and improved impact protection materials and is part of a wider collaboration with the Centre for Sports Engineering Research and also Manchester Metropolitan University. A process to produce large area or volume isotropic, anisotropic and gradient one-piece auxetic foams is being developed, foams produced and characterised for their mechanical and impact response properties. Significant reductions in peak acceleration are being found for the auxetic foams relative to their conventional counterparts.

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

Sheffield Children's Hospital identified a need to develop new equipment with Sheffield Hallam University to monitor the bone mineral density (BMD) in children less than four years old.

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

From 1999-2002, the Raman Spectroscopy of PVD Coatings project aimed to develop a Raman based method of monitoring the quality of coatings produced by the Surface Engineering Group and monitor stress and wear induced changes in hard coatings

The MINIMAN project concerns the development of a smart microrobot with five degrees of freedom and a size of few centimetres squared
