Integration of High Frequency Tactile Event Measurement into Tactile Gloves for Human-Machine Interaction and Ergonomic Testing: Dobie, Gordon (Principal Investigator); 10-Jan-2023 - 09-Jan-2023
KTP - Cokebusters Ltd. Development of mobile acoustic technologies for the detection of corrosion and degradation of in process piping/pipelines.: Dobie, Gordon (Principal Investigator) Mohseni, Ehsan (Co-investigator); 01-Jan-2023 - 30-Jan-2025
Adaptive Path Planning and Visual Navigation of Autonomous Inspection Robots in Challenging Environments: Yang, Erfu (Principal Investigator) Dobie, Gordon (Co-investigator) Jiang, Meiling (Researcher); This project aims to fundamentally investigate the novel adaptive path planning and visual navigation of robots (such as an industrial robot manipulator, Cobot, UAV etc.) for autonomous inspection by enabling holistic control and interactions of robots in complex, dynamic and changing environments such that safety and interaction of nearby humans/operators/other objects etc. can be maintained while the inspection tasks are taking place. At the same time, the efficiency and flexibility of the inspection process is also achieved when process variations or environmental changes take place.; 01-Jan-2022 - 30-Jan-2025
