Several researchers have investigated how to add AI components into shared controllers to improve their reliability. Nonetheless, the impact of novel research approaches in real-world applications can have a very slow in-take. We propose a set of bench

First Joint Workshop of Robotics and Mathematics This is a multidisciplinary workshop whose purpose is to bring together Robotics and Applied Mathematics at the University of Birmingham. It will open in the morning, with the talks from the Robotics Group led by Professor Rustam Stolkin. In the afternoon, the many facets of our Applied Mathematics research are going to be presented. As usual, most of the discussion will take place at lunch and coffee breaks, and the dinner wil

Our paper entitled 'Feature-Based Transfer Learning for Robotic Push Manipulation' published in 2018 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) has been selected for an extended version by the Special Issue on Advancement in Engineering and Computer Science organized by Advances in Science, Technology and Engineering Systems Journal (ASTESJ) Thanks to my students, Rhys Howard and Jochen Stuber, the extended paper also proposed a improvement of a twofold i
