Localization of Mobile Robots for Precision Manufacturing
(Auckland University of Technology, 2021)To manufacture a bigger part, you need a larger machine!" This paradigm is going to be broken through the development of mobile robots that can move around a part and apply a manufacturing operation to it, instead of ... -
Monitoring New Zealand's native bees: a collaborative approach using image analysis
(Auckland University of Technology, 2016)New Zealand has around thirty different species of native bees. They are pollinators of wild and cultivated plants, and are likely important to the health of ecosystems. Most species are solitary ground nesting bees; ... -
Multi-Material and Multi-Structural Optimisation for Generative Design of Controlled Property Domains
(Auckland University of Technology, 2022)Most naturally evolved structures exhibit the highest level of optimisation in terms of the material properties through carefully selected and adopted compositional and structural variations resulting in the functional ... -
A Novel Stability Control System for Two-Wheeled Robotic Wheelchairs
(Auckland University of Technology, 2021)Most conventional robotic wheelchairs contain four wheels (two active driving wheels and two passive casters) which makes them statically stable. In comparison, a two-wheeled robotic wheelchair (TWRW) offers much better ... -
Understanding Upper Airway Dynamic Characteristics in OSA Patients Under Invasive and Non-invasive Treatment
(Auckland University of Technology, 2016)Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a common upper airway (UA) respiratory sleep disorder, is considered one of the most threatening diseases to quality of life worldwide. OSA occurs due to obstruction in the UA region, and is ...
