A comparison of humanoid and non-humanoid robots in supporting the learning of pupils with severe intellectual disabilities (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Aslam, S., Standen, P., Shopland, N., & Burton, A. (2016). A comparison of humanoid and non-humanoid robots in supporting the learning of pupils with severe intellectual disabilities. In Proceedings - 2016 International Conference on Interactive Technologies and Games (ITAG). https://doi.org/10.1109/iTAG.2016.9

Previous research has shown that the humanoid NAO robot can enhance learning as well as improve communication in children with intellectual disabilities. However, most special needs schools cannot afford the humanoid NAO robot due to high costs. Coul...

One of the key properties of the human immune system is to detect the presence of pathogens, and as such there are numberous immune algorithm which perform anomaly detection and pattern recognition. An additional facet of the human immune system is t... Read More about Exploiting the Plasticity of Primary and Secondary Response Mechanisms in Artificial Immune Systems.

Development and clinical acceptability of a pre-operative risk stratification tool of cerebellar mutism syndrome in children with posterior fossa tumour (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Dineen, R. A., Avula, S., Chambers, T., Dutta, M., Liu, J., Soria, D., …Walker, D. (2016). Development and clinical acceptability of a pre-operative risk stratification tool of cerebellar mutism syndrome in children with posterior fossa tumour.

Aims: Despite identification of numerous pre-operative cerebellar mutism syndrome (CMS) clinical and radiological predictors, a unifying pre-operative risk stratification model for use during surgical consent is currently lacking. The aims of the pro... Read More about Development and clinical acceptability of a pre-operative risk stratification tool of cerebellar mutism syndrome in children with posterior fossa tumour.
