Research to set up an online system enabling doctors to access patients’ health records from across the European Union has been launched. The European Commission project, MyHealthAvatar, is designed to give people more knowledge and control of their health via their computers and mobile phones. The programme will keep archives of each user’s electronic health…
The Lincoln Centre for Autonomous System (L-CAS) is looking for another Research Assistant to work in the STRANDS project. Consider applying if you are excited about mobile robots and long term behaviour, and you are looking for a great opportunity to also pursue a PhD. We need a great communicator, robot programmer, and system integrator;…
Flying quadrocopters, robotic arms and a 3D printer will all be demonstrated at an event aimed at showcasing the engineering and manufacturing sector. Get up to Speed is one of the headline events of the 2012 Global Manufacturing Festival in Sheffield. It aims to inspire the next generation of engineering talent by bringing education and…
Safer foods, less waste and better use of natural resources are key concerns in modern mass food production. Scientists at Lincoln are working to create a flexible and efficient new computer system which can be used to quickly detect faults in food products and packaging on the production line. Dr Tom Duckett, from the University…
Scientists from the University of Lincoln and Newcastle University have created a computerised system which allows for autonomous navigation of mobile robots based on the locust’s unique visual system. The work could provide the blueprint for the development of highly accurate vehicle collision sensors, surveillance technology and even aid video game programming according to the…
The contract of the FP7-IRSES project HAZCEPT has been signed recently. It will start from 1/April/2013 and run for 4 years. Lincoln is the coordinator of this consortium. What and why is this project? HAZCEPT: Towards zero road accidents – nature inspired hazard perception. The number of road traffic accident fatalities world wide has recently…
Tom Duckett and Marc Hanheide of the Lincoln Centre for Autonomous Systems will be presenting the general aims and objectives of the new FP7 project “STRANDS: Spatio-Temporal Representations and Activities For Cognitive Control in Long-Term Scenarios” – and L-CAS’ role in its research work plan in particular – at ICRA 2013 and ERF 13 conferences, respectively. The project’s aim is “… to…
With consumer uptake of smartphone platforms growing exponentially, particularly for accessing social media, news, streaming media and games through the lens of ‘mobile apps’, the LiSC team felt it was time to overhaul the ‘Mobile and Distributed Computing’ module that had been run for many years in the Lincoln School of Computer Science. Task-driven computing on…
Research and design work carried out by 2nd year Lincoln School of Computer Science students has recently been recognised as excellent, through the acceptance of a paper describing that work to ACM CHI 2013, the worlds leading conference in the field of Human-Computer Interaction. We have recently redesigned the Human-Computer Interaction module, which is taken by most…
