The principles of shared control integrate the best of both worlds: the fast, reliable and precise task execution capabilities of automation with the complementary inventive, adaptive and interactive task execution skills of humans. In this seminar we explore the progress made in shared control systems applied to assistive robots, such as smart wheelchairs.

Quantum computing is a new paradigm that exploits fundamental principles of quantum mechanics, such as superposition and entanglement, to tackle problems in mathematics, chemistry and material science that are well beyond the reach of supercomputers.

This presentation will address various challenges in developing a fully functional personal particulate matter (PM) monitoring system, from the design of specialised electrochemical instrumentation to modern microfluidic fabrication techniques using 3D printing to enhance performance.
