A study of an improved cutting mechanism of composite materials using novel design of diamond micro-core drills (2014)
Journal Article
Butler-Smith, P. W., Axinte, D. A., Daine, M., Kennedy, A. R., Harper, L. T., Bucourt, J. F., & Ragueneau, R. (2015). A study of an improved cutting mechanism of composite materials using novel design of diamond micro-core drills. International Journal of Machine Tools and Manufacture, 88, 175-183. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijmachtools.2014.10.002

Core drilling at small diameters in carbon composite materials is largely carried out using diamond electroplated tools consisting of hollow shafts and simplistic geometries that are likely to work in an abrasional/rubbing mode for material removal....

Real-time method for tip following navigation of continuum snake arm robots (2014)
Journal Article
Palmer, D., Cobos-Guzman, S., & Axinte, D. (2014). Real-time method for tip following navigation of continuum snake arm robots. Robotics and Autonomous Systems, 62(10), 1478-1485. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.robot.2014.05.013

This paper presents a novel technique for the navigation of a snake arm robot, for real-time inspections in complex and constrained environments. These kinds of manipulators rely on redundancy, making the inverse kinematics very difficult. Therefore,... Read More about Real-time method for tip following navigation of continuum snake arm robots.
