Information on Current MSRR Research Topics

The following research is currently on-going within the group :-

Augmented Reality
The fusion of virtual reality graphics with real video images.

Advanced Protection of Vulnerable Road Users

Haptic feedback
We have developed our own 'phantom' device for use in robotic teleoperation applications.

Semi-autonomous sweeping vehicles
In collaboration with Johnston Vehicles Ltd.

Development of stereo robotics heads for immersive video feedback
An extension to our work in autonomous robot head development- closely allied with our AR work.

Parts Feeding
The synthesis of parts feeding strategies based on a Catastrophe Theory model.

Robotic Assembly
We have shown that a robot specifically designed and operated in force-control mode provides more general robotic assembly primitives than systems whose primary mode of operation is position control.

Image Processing for Non-destructive Testing
Sensors for Robotic Welding
Assessing Quailty Assurance in Mammography
Development of an open-architecture PUMA 560 robot controller
Robot calibration and OLP
Active vision for Robot Guidance
Fluid power research
