Closed Loop Force Control of In-Situ Machining Robots using Audible Sound Features (2019)
Journal Article
Alatorre, D., Rabani, A., Axinte, D., & Branson, D. T. (2020). Closed Loop Force Control of In-Situ Machining Robots using Audible Sound Features. Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing, 136, Article 106517. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ymssp.2019.106517

Detecting, measuring and controlling the forces between cutting tools and machined components is essential in circumstances where direct position control (e.g. depth of cut, feed speed, etc.) is inaccurate and/or impossible. This paper explores the u... Read More about Closed Loop Force Control of In-Situ Machining Robots using Audible Sound Features.

Design and Development of a Slender Dual-Structure Continuum Robot for In-Situ Aeroengine Repair (2018)
Journal Article
Wang, M., Palmer, D., Dong, X., Alatorre, D., Axinte, D., & Norton, A. (2018). Design and Development of a Slender Dual-Structure Continuum Robot for In-Situ Aeroengine Repair. Proceedings of the ... IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems. IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 5648-5653. https://doi.org/10.1109/IROS.2018.8594142

© 2018 IEEE. In-situ aeroengine maintenance works (e.g. inspection, repair) are highly beneficial as it can significantly reduce currently accepted maintenance cycle which is extensive and costly due to the need to remove engines from the wing of an...

Optimal integration of pneumatic artificial muscles with vacuum-jammed surfaces to characterise a novel reconfigurable moulding system (2018)
Journal Article
Habibi, H., Land, P., Ball, M. J., Troncoso, D. A., & Branson, D. T. (in press). Optimal integration of pneumatic artificial muscles with vacuum-jammed surfaces to characterise a novel reconfigurable moulding system. Journal of Manufacturing Processes, 32, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmapro.2018.02.013

Producing mould tooling systems is a considerable proportion of manufacturing cost and time, especially for low volume productions. Producing a reconfigurable mould to shape surfaces into complex geometries with multiple curvatures would obviate the...
