Artificial Muscles Performance Based on TCP-NiCr Actuators
Gonzalez, A; Garcia, L; Kilby, J; Singh, H (IEEE, 2021)In the past years, artificial muscles (and or soft-actuators) have gained attention to be used in rehabilitation robots due to their inherent compliance. Twisted and coiled polymers (TCP) artificial muscles are one of the ... -
Case Study of a Hybrid Wind and Tidal Turbines System With a Microgrid for Power Supply to a Remote Off-Grid Community in New Zealand
Nasab, NM; Kilby, J; Bakhtiaryfard, L (MDPI, 2021)This paper evaluates the feasibility of using a hybrid system consisting of wind and tidal turbines connected to a microgrid for power supply to coastal communities that are isolated from a main supply grid. The case study ... -
Influencing Lumbar Posture Through Real-Time Biofeedback and Its Effects on the Kinematics and Kinetics of a Repetitive Lifting Task
Boocock, M; Naude, Y; Taylor, S; Kilby, J; Mawston, G (Elsevier, 2019)BACKGROUND: Repetitive, flexed lumbar postures are a risk factor associated with low back injuries. Young, novice workers involved in manual handling also appear at increased risk of injury. The evidence for the effectiveness ... -
