Mobility and Utility in Robot Mediated Interaction: An Interactive Workshop for the Identification of Use Cases and Affordances of Telepresence Robots (2023)
Conference Proceeding

In recent years virtual meetings have become the predominant alternative to face-To-face meetings. Ongoing efforts in the design of telepresence robots promise remote access to physical settings and a greater sense of presence, leading to improved re...

I, AV: A Ghost Driver Field Study Exploring the Application of Anthropomorphism in AV-Pedestrian Communication (2023)
Conference Proceeding

We employed the 'Ghost Driver' methodology to emulate an autonomous vehicle (AV) and explored pedestrians' (n=520) crossing behaviour in response to external human-machine interfaces (eHMIs). Three eHMI designs were created to replace absent pedestri... Read More about I, AV: A Ghost Driver Field Study Exploring the Application of Anthropomorphism in AV-Pedestrian Communication.

The Integration of Green Building Technologies into the Construction Sector of Developing Countries: The Case of Ghana (2023)
Conference Proceeding

Emerging climate change crisis, resources scarcity and global sustainability agenda are putting pressures on developing nations and demanding actions. This study aimed to examine the significance of introducing green building technologies (GBTs) in...

“They’re not going to do all the tasks we do”: Understanding Trust and Reassurance towards a UV-C Disinfection Robot (2023)
Conference Proceeding

Increasingly, robots are adopted for routine tasks such as cleaning and disinfection of public spaces, raising questions about attitudes and trust of professional cleaners who might in future have robots as teammates, and whether the general public f...

Modelling of Stress Evolution and Its Effect on Formability in Tension Under Cyclic Bending Plus Compression (2023)
Conference Proceeding

Single point incremental forming (SPIF) and Double-sided incremental forming (DSIF) are two main variants of incremental sheet forming (ISF) processes. Tension under cyclic bending (TCB) have been developed as a means for experimental evaluation and...

Weakly Supervised Segmentation with Point Annotations for Histopathology Images via Contrast-Based Variational Model (2023)
Conference Proceeding

Image segmentation is a fundamental task in the field of imaging and vision. Supervised deep learning for segmentation has achieved unparalleled success when sufficient training data with annotated labels are available. However, annotation is known t...

LABERT: A Combination of Local Aggregation and Self-Supervised Speech Representation Learning for Detecting Informative Hidden Units in Low-Resource ASR Systems (2023)
Conference Proceeding

With advances in deep learning methodologies, Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems have seen impressive results. However, ASR in Low-Resource Environments (LREs) are challenged by a lack of training data for the specific target domain. We propo...

A BIM-based framework for designing sustainable structures through the reuse of precast concrete components (2023)
Conference Proceeding

The widespread use of concrete within the global construction sector is primarily attributed to its inherent qualities of resilience, versatility, longevity, and facilitation of economic growth. Nevertheless, it is noteworthy that this popular materi... Read More about A BIM-based framework for designing sustainable structures through the reuse of precast concrete components.
