The REINS Project
The REINS Project aims to develop a semi-autonomous mobile robot with sensory capabilities that can be shared with humans
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
Medical Image Processing and Visualisation
A software for automatically segmenting dissimilar regions in medical images acquired with magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography or ultrasonography has been developed and implemented
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.
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.
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
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
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
Oilfield chemistry - controlling sand production
The objective of this project is to bind sand grains together whilst maintaining formation porosity and fluid flow
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
