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, September). Requirements for getting a robot to grow-up. Presented at 7th European Conference on Artificial Life, Dortmund, Germany

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

Controlling a simulated Khepera with an XCS classifier system with memory. (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Webb, A., Hart, E., Ross, P., & Lawson, A. (2003, September). Controlling a simulated Khepera with an XCS classifier system with memory. Presented at 7th European Conference on Artificial Life, ECAL 2003: Advances in Artificial Life

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..

The comparative effect of semi-dimensional (SD) and non-dimensional (ND) normalisation on the results of a longitudinal study of gait in 5–12-year old children was investigated. The use of both height and leg length in the normalisation was examined.... Read More about Normalisation of gait data in children.

Sagittal joint kinematics, moments, and powers are predominantly characterized by speed of progression, not age, in normal children. (2001)
Journal Article
