Radio frequency identification (RFID) in pervasive healthcare (2009)
Journal Article
Fekri, A. H., Thuemmler, C., Buchanan, W., Fekri, H., & Lawson, A. (2009). Radio frequency identification (RFID) in pervasive healthcare. International Journal of Healthcare Technology and Management, 10(1/2), 119. https://doi.org/10.1504/ijhtm.2009.02373

Active and passive RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology are available and licensed for the use in hospitals, and can be used to establish highly reliable pervasive environments within healthcare facilities. They should not be understood a... Read More about Radio frequency identification (RFID) in pervasive healthcare.

Requirements for getting a robot to grow-up (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ross, P., Hart, E., Lawson, A., Webb, A., Prem, E., Poelz, P., & Morgavi, G. (2003). Requirements for getting a robot to grow-up. In W. Banzhaf, T. Christaller, P. Dittrich, J. T. Kim, & J. Ziegler (Eds.), Advances in Artificial Life 7th European Conferen

Much of current robot research is about learning tasks in which the task to be achieved is pre-specified, a suitable technology for the task is chosen and the learning process is then experimentally investigated. In this paper we discuss a different... Read More about Requirements for getting a robot to grow-up.

A role for immunology in 'next generation' robots. (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hart, E., Ross, P., Webb, A., & Lawson, A. (2003). A role for immunology in 'next generation' robots. In J. Timmis, P. Bentley, & E. Hart (Eds.), Artificial Immune Systems. ICARIS 2003 (46-56). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-45192-1_5

Much of current robot research is about learning tasks in which the task to be achieved is pre-specified, a suitable technology for the task is chosen and the learning process is experimentally investigated. A more interesting research question is ho... Read More about A role for immunology in 'next generation' robots..

Controlling a simulated Khepera with an XCS classifier system with memory. (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Webb, A., Hart, E., Ross, P., & Lawson, A. (2003). Controlling a simulated Khepera with an XCS classifier system with memory.

Autonomous agents commonly suffer from perceptual aliasing in which differing situations are perceived as identical by the robots sensors, yet require different courses of action. One technique for addressing this problem is to use additional interna... Read More about Controlling a simulated Khepera with an XCS classifier system with memory..

Sagittal joint kinematics, moments, and powers are predominantly characterized by speed of progression, not age, in normal children. (2001)
Journal Article
Stansfield, B., Hillman, S., Hazlewood, M., Lawson, A., Mann, A. M., Loudon, I. R., & Robb, J. E. (2001). Sagittal joint kinematics, moments, and powers are predominantly characterized by speed of progression, not age, in normal children. Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 21, 403-411

Twenty-six healthy 7-year-old children were enrolled in a 5-year longitudinal study to examine the importance of age and speed in the characterization of sagittal joint angles, moments, and powers. In 740 gait trials, children walking at self-selecte...

Who would you trust to identify you in accessing your health record?
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Buchanan, W. J., Anderson, C., Smales, A., Varga, J., Burns, N., Uthmani, O., …Lawson, A. Who would you trust to identify you in accessing your health record?

Within health and social care there is a strong need to provide access to highly sensitive information, and one which requires high levels of identity assurance. This paper outlines a joint project between Edinburgh Napier University and miiCard [10]... Read More about Who would you trust to identify you in accessing your health record?.
