Intelligent microsystems – Micro-sensors with in-sensor computing capabilities

  Research Group: Intelligent Systems and Robotics
In the era of Internet-of-Things (IoT), there will be an astronomical amount of data generated from numerous sensors worldwide. It is extremely insecure, power-inefficient, and time-consuming to transfer all the data between sensor nodes and computing units frequently. Read more

Hybrid Technologies for Battery Thermal Management Using Smart Materials

  Research Group: Intelligent Systems and Robotics
Electric vehicles (EVs) are powered by lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) with many advantages such as high specific energy, long cycle life, wide range of operating temperature, and low self-discharge rates. Read more

Modelling the Role of Hard Particles in Hard Facing Alloys

Supervisory Team: Robert Wood, Georges Limbert and Dave Stewart (RRSL). Project description. Hard facing alloys, such as those used in nuclear power plant, are composite materials comprising carbides (and other hard phases), in galling resistant metallic matrices. Read more

Dynamic modelling and model based control of Compliant Hybrid Robots

  Research Group: Intelligent Systems and Robotics
Recent trends and the evolution of robots suggest a greater integration of automated robots into everyday life. These robots are expected to serve various roles, including service robots, healthcare assistants, inspection robots, and more. Read more

Deployable Mobile Robots for autonomous inspection applications

  Research Group: Intelligent Systems and Robotics
The adoption of autonomous robots for industrial inspection holds significant appeal, primarily due to their capacity to operate in various environments without concern for safety and health hazards. Read more

Building Baymax - Flexible Robot Skin: Smart sensors and algorithms

  Research Group: Intelligent Systems and Robotics
In this project, we aim to develop the next generation of household robots (not vacuum cleaners but multi-task robotic manipulators) that are safe to interact with, even for children and the elderly. Read more

Multi-Fidelity Modelling of Rechargeable Battery Degradation

Rechargeable batteries play a key role in electric vehicles and transition to net zero. One of the current challenges in batteries is degradation, which causes capacity retention and resistance increase as the battery cycles. Read more
