Research
Research Interest 1
Interests lie in the following areas:
1. Development of vision based sensors and control systems to be used in advanced robotic systems for automated welding and other manufacturing processes.
2. Development of advanced digital systems based upon SOPC devices and parallel processing systems:
3. Development of neural network and fuzzy logic techniques to allow the fusion of data from a number of sensors to provide control information.
4. Other areas of research include, the development of a networking system based upon the CAN bus, the development of robotic manipulator controllers and the development of an advanced remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROV) requiring the integration of vision and manipulator systems along with sophisticated navigation techniques.
