Project Details
Description
Development of components and systems for mobile robot assemblies designed for operation in nuclear environments. The project complemented a Teaching Company Scheme with Nuclear Electric plc led by Prof Jan Stuart (Partnership number: 3813).
As part of the research, Bing Luk completed his PhD in 1991 after investigating robot force sensing using stochastic monitoring of the actuator current. The PhD was initially directed by J Billingsley and DA Sanders was a supervisor for final 18 months.
