The aim of this project was to develop a cost-effective anthropomorphic manipulator and a sensor glove, which would be capable of real-time control and haptic feedback, supported by a distributed computing microcontroller network. It investigates the design and engineering of anthropomorphic joints, force-feedback control systems and microcontroller nodes.

The Smart Car Demonstrator is an autonomous mobile robot that serves as a case study for the Time Triggered Architecture (TTA) and the Time Triggered Protocol for SAE Class A applications (TTP/A). The aim of the project was to determinine the real-life feasibility of implementing a TTP/A cluster, by validating the Smart Car’s ability to…
Read MoreThis paper reviews different aspects of network security based on the layers of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model. It outlines the generic forms of network attacks and their degree of damage, at each OSI layer. Three or four of the most popular forms of attack are described in detail for each layer, along with…
