Leather inspection and characterization using non-destructive techniques (2000)
Thesis
Mendes, J. D. A. Leather inspection and characterization using non-destructive techniques. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4212517

Leather is a widely used component of many products such as shoes, car seats, garments and other leather goods. Because it is a natural material, a tanned hide will contain visual and hidden flaws. In addition, its mechanical properties vary over the... Read More about Leather inspection and characterization using non-destructive techniques.

A study of low force fabric characteristics and vibrational behaviour for automated garment handling (1998)
Thesis
Pollet, D. M. A study of low force fabric characteristics and vibrational behaviour for automated garment handling. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4216629

One of the fundamental concepts in automated garment assembly is that the orientation of a fabric panel should never be lost. However, if a panel does become distorted, several techniques, such as vision, air flotation tables, and vibratory conveyors...

Robotic workcell analysis and object level programming (1990)
Thesis
Monkman, G. J. Robotic workcell analysis and object level programming. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4213960

For many years robots have been programmed at manipulator or joint level without any real thought to the implementation of sensing until errors occur during program execution. For the control of complex, or multiple robot workcells, programming must... Read More about Robotic workcell analysis and object level programming.

Compliant polymeric actuators as robot drive units (1989)
Thesis
Caldwell, D. G. Compliant polymeric actuators as robot drive units. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4216714

A co-polymer made from Polyvinyl Alcohol and Polyacrylic Acid (PVA-PAA) has been synthesized to form new robotic actuation systems which use the contractile and variable compliance properties of this material. The stimulation of these fibres is studi... Read More about Compliant polymeric actuators as robot drive units.
