Design Analysis of a Fabric Based Lightweight Robotic Gripper
(2019-06-28)The development of grasping mechanisms for various grasping applications have enabled robots to perform a wide variety of tasks in both industrial as well as domestic applications. Soft robotic grippers have been very ... -
Design and Analysis of a Novel Reconfigurable Parallel Manipulator with Kirigami-inspired Bennett Plano-Spherical Linkages and Angular Pouch Motors
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2021-05)Drawing inspiration from kirigami, this article first presents the crease pattern of a kirigami model which is kinematically equivalent to a Bennett plano-spherical linkage. In terms of the screw theory, distinct closed-loop ... -
Design and Analysis of Multi-Arm Trials with a Common Control Using Order Restrictions
(2010)Trials for comparing I treatments with a control are considered, where the aim is to identify one treatment (if at least one exists) which is better than control. Tests are developed which use all of the data simultaneously, ... -
Design and applications of optical transformation devices
(Queen Mary University of London, 2012)This thesis provides an insight into the designing, physical realization and characterization of optical transformation devices. It begins with an introduction to the discrete coordinate transformation with a design ... -
Design and Characterisation of Soft Biomaterials and Interfaces for Bio-Adhesives and Cell Culture
(Queen Mary University of London, 24/05/2019)This thesis consists of three chapters which can be split into studies of (1) the impact of length scale, surface adhesion and heterogeneity on the mechanical charac-terisation of soft biomaterials, (2) the effect of ... -
The Design and Construction of High-Resolution Spectrometers for Exoplanet Discovery and Characterisation.
(Queen Mary University of London, 2020)In this thesis, we discuss the design and construction of high-resolution spectrometers for exoplanet discovery and characterisation across the entire scope of project budgetary regimes. As with all aspects of astronomy, ... -
Design and development of fibre-based piezoelectric energy harvesters
(2023)With the increasing development of the “Internet of Things (IoT)”, the requirement for wireless, sustainable and independent energy supplies is becoming increasingly important for portable technology and sensor networks. ... -
Design and development of hybrid energy harvesters
(Queen Mary University of London, 2018-06-25)Hybrid energy harvesters (HEHs) targeting multiple energy forms have been drawing increasing interest in recent years. While large scale photovoltaic power plants are capable of providing energy for domestic usage, research ... -
The design and dynamics of variable stiffness soft inflatable robots
(2023)Within the field of robotics, there is an increasing trend toward employing robots that can physically interact or even collaborate with humans. Realising physical human-robot interaction (pHRI) has benefits in many areas ... -
Design and Evaluate Support for Non-musicians’ Creative Engagement with Musical Interfaces
(Queen Mary University of London, 2018-17-12)In the past few decades of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) studies, experience related topics are proposed as central concerns beyond usability when designing an interactive system. Based on two existing research ... -
Design and evaluation of a web-and mobile-based binaural audio platform for cultural heritage
(MDPI, 2021-02-08)PlugSonic is a suite of web- and mobile-based applications for the curation and experience of 3D interactive soundscapes and sonic narratives in the cultural heritage context. It was developed as part of the PLUGGY EU ... -
Design and Evaluation of Microwave Antennas for Abdominal Fat Measurement Systems
(Queen Mary University of London, 24/07/2019)Availability of accurate, low cost and non-invasive devices for the measurement of abdominal fat is an important factor for early diagnosis of the obesity-related diseases. To achieve this, a wideband (WB) system was ...
