PROJECTS

GAMMA: Growing Autonomous Mission MAnagement systems Programme
The growing autonomous mission management applications (GAMMA) is a three year £9.1 million, autonomous systems programme aimed at driving SME engagement and developing technology within the emerging autonomous systems markets .
North West Aerospace Alliance (NWAA), BAE Systems and the Universities of Manchester, Lancaster, Salford, Central Lancashire, Liverpool (including the Virtual Engineering Centre) and the National Nuclear Laboratories are supporting the programme.

Development of methods, algorithms and software for autonomous novelty detection by moving camera
In this project a new approach and related software is developed which is completely autonomous and can work both for static and moving cameras detecting any moving objects. This will remove the direct human involvement and will reduce time and computational complexity

Intelligent Leader-Follower algorithms for ground platforms
Assisted Carriage: Intelligent Leader-follower algorithms', funded by Centre for Defence Enterprise, Ministry of Defence. An autonomous leader-follower algorithm is developed and implemented on mobile robot in an unknown and unpredictable environment.

Passive Optimal Sense and Avoid (POSA)
An Integrated Approach to Autonomous Collision Detection, and Avoidance of Uninhabited Aerial Systems, funded by BAE Systems - this project is a part of ASTRAEA, (Autonomous Systems Technology Related Airborne Evaluation & Assessment)

TEACHING

Lab Demonstrator: Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
Provided support for understanding the fundamentals of modern Digital Signal Processing Techniques using MATLAB and SLIFER.

Lab Demonstrator: Information and Communication Technology
Provided support for understanding the fundamentals of communication systems using Hyper Signal software.

Lab Demonstrator: Intelligent and Autonomous Systems
provided support to understand the fundamentals of the subject of artificial intelligence and autonomous systems. Also provide programming support for MATLAB and C++.
