Automation and robotics projects
-
Robotic Evolutionary Self-Programming and Self-Assembling Organisms
The REPLICATOR project started in March 2008 under the European Union's 7th framework programme, in the theme of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)
-
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
-
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
-
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
-
Miniman
The MINIMAN project concerns the development of a smart microrobot with five degrees of freedom and a size of few centimetres squared
-
Smart Interactive Technologies
This research group is interested in innovative research and developments investigating all the aspects of modelling and applying physical and intelligent systems, which coexist harmoniously with people and other artificial agents in complex real-world environments
-
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
-
The REINS Project
The REINS Project aims to develop a semi-autonomous mobile robot with sensory capabilities that can be shared with humans
-
Viewfinder
The Viewfinder project built an autonomous robotic system to establish ground safety in the event of a fire.
