In applications where networks of autonomous agents are employed to achieve an objective, such as accurately estimating an environmental variable or surveilling an area of interest, the agents need to communicate among ...

Large-area printed electronics offer a new arena in electronics industry due to their low fabrication cost, simplicity, and compatibility with flexible substrates. The organic and printed electronic product sales were more ...

In this thesis, we explore the advanced techniques for both optical transmission and optical fibre sensing. For the optical transmission, we design a low differential modal delay (DMD) few-mode fibre with distributed long ...

Elephants and humans existed with a long tradition of interdependence up until contemporary times. However, today human-elephant conflict (HEC) has become one of the most significant environmental and socio-economic crises ...

This thesis considers the design and mathematical analysis of algorithms enabling autonomous agents to operate reliably in the presence of uncertainty. The algorithms are designed to preserve computational tractability, ...

The thesis focuses on the stability and robustness analysis of a class of vibrational control systems, which take advantages of high-frequency dithers to provide an extra design freedom. By carefully revisiting the vibrational ...

The increasing prevalence of Internet of things (IoT) technologies, smartphones, and social media services generates a huge amount of data, popularly known as ’big data’. Extracting useful information from big data is ...

The World Health Organisation estimates 36 million are blind worldwide; in addition, 217 million have severe or moderate visual impairment. Over the past decades, there has been substantial research in alleviating blindness ...

Wireless energy harvesting is one of the promising alternative methods to power next generation wireless networks such as wireless sensor networks and wireless communication networks. In Wireless Energy Transfer, in order ...

Bandwidth intensive applications such as high-definition video streaming, real-time video transmission, tactile communications, virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and the like are being developed for portable ...
