The Role of Gamification in a Software Development Lifecycle (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Gordon, N., Brayshaw, M., Dixon, J., Grey, S., & Parker, D. (2021, June). The Role of Gamification in a Software Development Lifecycle. Presented at INSPIRE XXVI International e-conference, Online

Teaching Software Engineering students raises a number of challenges; in particular that student developers typically demonstrate behaviours that run counter to good software development. These include failing to plan properly, failing to develop the... Read More about The Role of Gamification in a Software Development Lifecycle.

Terminal sliding mode control of an anthropomorphic manipulator with friction based observer (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ali, K., Mehmood, A., & Iqbal, J. (2021, October). Terminal sliding mode control of an anthropomorphic manipulator with friction based observer. Presented at 2021 International Conference on Robotics and Automation in Industry (ICRAI), Rawalpindi, Pakistan

The role of modern control techniques has been instrumental in today’s robotic applications because of their increasing requirements for reliability, accuracy, productivity and repeatability. Robotic manipulators are highly non-linear systems with co... Read More about Terminal sliding mode control of an anthropomorphic manipulator with friction based observer.

NEAT Activity Detection using Smartwatch at Low Sampling Frequency (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Dewan, A., Gunturi, V. M., Naik, V., & Dutta, K. K. (2021, October). NEAT Activity Detection using Smartwatch at Low Sampling Frequency. Presented at 2021 IEEE SmartWorld, Ubiquitous Intelligence and Computing, Advanced and Trusted Computing, Scalable Computing and Communications, Internet of People, and Smart City Innovations, SmartWorld/ScalCom/UIC/ATC/IoP/SCI 2021, Atlanta, GA, USA

Our paper aims to build a classification model to discern the typical NEAT (Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis) activities done in a home setting. The concept of NEAT is broadly defined as the energy spent in everything which is not sleeping, eating... Read More about NEAT Activity Detection using Smartwatch at Low Sampling Frequency.

Use Case of Building an Indoor Air Quality Monitoring System (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kureshi, R. R., Thakker, D., Mishra, B. K., & Ahmed, B. (2021, June). Use Case of Building an Indoor Air Quality Monitoring System. Presented at 7th IEEE World Forum on Internet of Things, WF-IoT 2021, New Orleans, USA

On average, we spend around 90% of the time in indoor environments. Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) has been receiving increased attention from the environmental bodies, local authorities and citizens as it is becoming clearer that poor IAQ has public healt...

Finite-Time Attitude Control of Uncertain Quadrotor Aircraft via Continuous Terminal Sliding-Mode-Based Active Anti-Disturbance Approach (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mechali, O., Iqbal, J., Mechali, A., Xie, X., & Xu, L. (2021, August). Finite-Time Attitude Control of Uncertain Quadrotor Aircraft via Continuous Terminal Sliding-Mode-Based Active Anti-Disturbance Approach. Presented at 2021 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics and Automation, ICMA 2021, Takamatsu, Japan

This research addresses the problem of robust attitude control for a quadrotor operating in an environment polluted with lumped disturbances. A new continuous terminal sliding mode-based active anti-disturbance control (CTSMBAADC) is proposed by inno...

Distributed Leader-Follower Formation Control of Quadrotors Swarm Subjected to Disturbances (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mechali, O., Iqbal, J., Wang, J., Xie, X., & Xu, L. (2021, August). Distributed Leader-Follower Formation Control of Quadrotors Swarm Subjected to Disturbances. Presented at 2021 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics and Automation, ICMA 2021, Takamatsu, Japan

This paper proposes a novel control scheme for a group of quadrotors aircrafts that form a leader-follower configuration and are subjected to nonlinear behavior with lumped disturbances. For each aircraft, a distributed formation control law is desig... Read More about Distributed Leader-Follower Formation Control of Quadrotors Swarm Subjected to Disturbances.
