Hale, M. F., Buchanan, E., Winfield, A. F., Timmis, J., Hart, E., Eiben, A. E., Angus, M., Veenstra, F., Li, W., Woolley, R., De Carlo, M., & Tyrrell, A. M. (2019, July). The ARE Robot Fabricator: How to (Re)produce Robots that Can Evolve in the Real World. Presented at Artificial Life, Newcastle, UK

The long term vision of the Autonomous Robot Evolution (ARE) project is to create an ecosystem of both virtual and physical robots with evolving brains and bodies. One of the major challenges for such a vision is the need to construct many unique ind... Read More about The ARE Robot Fabricator: How to (Re)produce Robots that Can Evolve in the Real World.

A new neural network and pole placement based adaptive composite controller (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hussain, A., Zayed, A. S., & Smith, L. (2001, December). A new neural network and pole placement based adaptive composite controller. Presented at Multi Topic, IEEE International Conference, Lahore, Pakistan

The paper describes a new composite control method combining a neural network estimator with a conventional pole-placement based adaptive controller. The neural network estimation technique presented by Hussain (2000) is particularly effective when t... Read More about A new neural network and pole placement based adaptive composite controller.

A novel method for the performance control of a gas transmission compressor. (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Pearson, W. N., Armitage, A., & Henderson, D. (2002, May). A novel method for the performance control of a gas transmission compressor. Presented at ASME TURBO EXPO 2002: Controls, Diagnostics and Instrumentation, Cycle Innovations, Marine, Oil and Gas Applications

This paper presents the application of feed forward neural networks to the performance control of a gas transmission compressor. It is estimated that a global saving in compressor fuel gas of 1% could prevent the production of 6 million tonnes of CO2...
