Design and Development of a Slender Dual-Structure Continuum Robot for In-Situ Aeroengine Repair (2018)
Journal Article

© 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...

© 2018 IEEE. Automation of inspection and repair tasks on complex installations is gaining attention from industries with high-value assets such as aerospace, nuclear and marine. This paper reports on a five degrees of freedom robotic system capable... Read More about Robotic Boreblending: The Future of In-Situ Gas Turbine Repair.

Design and stiffness analysis of A class of 2-DoF tendon driven parallel kinematic mechanism (2018)
Journal Article

2-DoF Rotational mechanism is increasingly utilized in a large range of industrial applications. However, the structures of most of the existing mechanisms are very complex, which is a significant challenge for building them, due to the tight tolera...

Modelling an acuated large deformation soft continuum robot surface undergoing external forces using a lumped-mass approach (2018)
Conference Proceeding

Precise actuation of continuum surfaces in combination with continuum robotic arms that undergo large deformation is of high interest in soft robotics but of limited model-based study to date. This work develops this area towards enabling the robust...

MiRoR—Miniaturized Robotic Systems for Holistic In-Situ Repair and maintenance works in restrained and hazardous environments (2018)
Journal Article

This letter presents the novel concept of a miniaturized robotized machine tool, Mini-RoboMach, consisting of a walking hexapod robot and a Slender Continuum Arm. By combining the mobility of the walking robot with the positioning accuracy of the mac...
