Creating new methods of diagnosing bone disease in children
Sheffield Children's Hospital identified a need to develop new equipment with Sheffield Hallam University to monitor the bone mineral density (BMD) in children less than four years old.
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
Robot tool positioning and alignment
One of the main applications of machine vision in industry is in the alignment and positioning of tools that are used in a large variety of tasks
3D visualisation
We can offer licensing and other forms of cooperation concerning the developed products; consultancy in 3D modelling and data analysis; and longer term research cooperation in modelling, computer vision, real-time equipment control and robotics.
Lean manufacture
Our academics and consultants can help in determining opportunities for cost effective productivity and efficiency increases, can assist in the reduction of waste from the manufacturing process and increase efficiency of production processes by automation
5S
The 5 s'are prerequisites for any improvement program. As waste is potential gain, so eliminating waste is a gain. 5S philosophy focuses on effective workplace organisation, simplifies work environment, and reduces waste while improving quality and safety.
Value stream mapping
Value Stream Mapping provides a diagrammatic depiction of the entire supply chain to ensure a complete and shared understanding of what is happening at the different stages within it
Simulation of engineering environments
We provide a broad range of consultancy services which draw on a unique combination of systems engineering, operational analysis and technology capabilities
Object recognition and tracking
Over the years, we have developed several techniques for recognising and tracking 2D and 3D objects in real-time. These techniques are able to cope with variability of the lighting conditions, presence of clutter, background texture and general image noise.
