Conceptual framework for ubiquitous cyber-physical assembly systems in airframe assembly (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Sanderson, D., Chaplin, J. C., & Ratchev, S. Conceptual framework for ubiquitous cyber-physical assembly systems in airframe assembly. Presented at 16th IFAC Symposium on Information Control Problems in Manufacturing (INCOM 2018)

Current sectoral drivers for the manufacturing of complex products - such as airframe assembly -require new manufacturing system paradigms to meet them. In this paper, we propose a conceptual framework for cyber-physical systems driven by ubiquitous...

Common shared system model for evolvable assembly systems (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Sanderson, D., Chaplin, J., & Ratchev, S. Common shared system model for evolvable assembly systems. Presented at Model-Based Enterprise Summit 2018

A vital aspect of distributed control in an adaptable production system is coherence between each system resource. The Evolvable Assembly Systems project addresses this challenge using a common shared system model. This paper provides an overview of...

Functional modelling in evolvable assembly systems (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Sanderson, D., Chaplin, J. C., & Ratchev, S. Functional modelling in evolvable assembly systems. Presented at 8th International Precision Assembly Seminar

The design and reconfiguration of adaptive production systems is a key driver in modern advanced manufacturing. We summarise the use of an ap-proach from the field of functional modelling to capture the function, behaviour, and structure of a system....

Toward process control from formal models of transformable manufacturing systems (2017)
Journal Article
Bakker, O. J., Chaplin, J. C., de Silva, L., Felli, P., Sanderson, D., Logan, B., & Ratchev, S. (2018). Toward process control from formal models of transformable manufacturing systems. Procedia CIRP, 63, 521-526. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.procir.2017.03.159

The automation and flexibility of production systems is a key step towards improved profitability and competitiveness in high labour cost areas, when producing high-complexity, low-volume products. In the Evolvable Assembly Systems (EAS) project, the... Read More about Toward process control from formal models of transformable manufacturing systems.

Synthesising industry-standard manufacturing process controllers (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
de Silva, L., Felli, P., Chaplin, J. C., Logan, B., Sanderson, D., & Ratchev, S. (2017, May). Synthesising industry-standard manufacturing process controllers. Presented at Sixteenth International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems, Sao Paolo, Brazil

Realisability of production recipes (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
de Silva, L., Felli, P., Chaplin, J. C., Logan, B., Sanderson, D., & Ratchev, S. (2016, August). Realisability of production recipes. Presented at 22nd European Conference in Artificial Intelligence (ECAI 2016), The Hague, The Netherlands

There is a rising demand for customised products with a high degree of complexity. To meet these demands, manufacturing lines are increasingly becoming autonomous, networked, and intelligent, with production lines being virtualised into a manufacturi...

Photochromic molecular implementations of universal computation (2014)
Journal Article
Chaplin, J. C., Krasnogor, N., & Russell, N. A. (2014). Photochromic molecular implementations of universal computation. BioSystems, 126, 12-26. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biosystems.2014.09.004

Unconventional computing is an area of research in which novel materials and paradigms are utilised to implement computation. Previously we have demonstrated how registers, logic gates and logic circuits can be implemented, unconventionally, with a b...
