Extraction and characterization of cellulosic fibers from sawmill waste

Kahawita, KDHN; Samarasekara, AMPB [Conference-Full-text]

In the current period of time synthetic polymers are rapidly spreading among people due to the advantages of advanced mechanical properties with low cost and weight. However, due to the low biodegradability, synthetic ...
Non-linear behaviour of open-cell metal foam under tensile loading

Zimar, AMZ; Nowsath, MH; Muhammad, MN; Herath, SR [Conference-Full-text]

Metal foams are used extensively in civil and mechanical engineering applications. However the behaviuor of metal foams under various loading conditions are not well understood. Therefore this study investigates ...
Development of polymer modified asphalt using filler

Kajugaran, S; Weragoda, VSC [Conference-Full-text]

The modified asphalt is used to improve the performance of pavement when traffic loads are applied with changing environmental conditions. In this study, the bitumen was modified by adding Low Density Polyethylene as ...
Use of surface modified silica in reinforcing carboxylated nitrile rubber latex

Ramasinghe, RLP; Gannoruwa, GKBM; Liyanage, NMVK [Conference-Full-text]

Coupling agents are a special category of chemicals used to impart interactions between filler and polymer in polymer industry. Applicability of natural polymers (NPs) as coupling agents for silica filled Carboxylated ...
preparation and characterization of cellulose and hemi-cellulose based degradable composite material using sugarcane waste

Jayasekara, AGBP; Bandara, HMND; Amarasinghe, YWR [Conference-Full-text]

In recent years, polymer based composites have become more popular in many scientific researches as well as many commercial programs. Growing global, environmental and social concern, the high rate of depletion of ...
Hydrophilic polymers as protein removers for natural rubber latex

Dhanapala, MGV; Liyanage, NMVK [Conference-Full-text]

Water soluble hydrophilic polymers (WSHP) in removing extractable proteins in natural rubber latex(NRL) has been investigated. Two WSHPs were synthesised by free radically initiated solution polymerisation technique ...
Command governor adaptive control for unmanned underwater vehicles with measurement noise and actuator dead-zone

Makavita, CD; Nguyen, HD; Jayasinghe, SG; Ranmuthugala, D [Conference-Full-text]

Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) are being deployed in advanced applications that require precise manoeuvring close to complex underwater structures such as oilrigs and subsea installations or moving objects such ...
Biomimetic flexible robot arm design and kinematic analysis of a novel flexible robot arm

Deashapriya, KP; Sampath, PAG; Wijekoon, WMSB; Jayaweera, ND; Kulasekera, AL [Conference-Full-text]

Conventional robot manipulators have singularities in their workspaces and constrained spatial movements. Flexible and soft robots provide a unique solution to overcome this limitation. Flexible robot arms have biologically ...
Field based navigation for 3d obstacle avoidance

Wickramaratna, SD; Udage, AS; Jayasekara, RT; Kariyapperuma, DA; Abeysiriwardhana, WASP; Abeykoon, AMHS [Conference-Full-text]

Mobile Robot Navigation techniques are important for path calculation towards a target, avoiding collisions in an unknown environment. The existing robot navigation techniques conclude a diverse spectrum of applications ...
Mirob: an intelligent service robot that learns from interactive discussions while handling uncertain information in user instructions

Muthugala, MAVJ; Jayasekara, AGBP [Conference-Full-text]

This paper presents about an intelligent service robot named Moratuwa Intelligent Robot (MIRob) that can acquire knowledge through interactive discussion with the user while handling the uncertain information in the ...
Outdoor robot navigation using gmapping based slam algorithm

Balasuriya, BLEA; Chathuranga, BAH; Jayasundara, BHMD; Napagoda, NRAC; Kumarawadu, SP; Chandima, DP; Jayasekara, AGBP [Conference-Full-text]

This paper presents the complete methodology followed in designing and implementing a tracked autonomous navigation robot which can navigate through an unknown outdoor environment using ROS (Robot Operating System). The ...
Design and development of an anthropomorphic robotic head with force attentive reflex actions

Jayasekara, AGN; Muthugala, MAVJ; Jayasekara, AGBP [Conference-Full-text]

Anthropomorphism is the attribution of human traits, emotions and intentions to non-human entities. Nowadays, development of anthropomorphic features in robotic heads is a major area of interest in the field of robotics. ...
Stability analysis for a twin boom h- tail medium scale uav through simulated dynamic model

Kurukularachchi, PL; Munasinghe, SR; De Silva, HRPS [Conference-Full-text]

this paper presents on the stability analysis for RAVAN twin boom H-Tail Medium Scale UAV which has been developed by University of Moratuwa. It is required to understand the UAV behavior for the small perturbations in ...
Design of a human-like robot head with emotions

Edirisinghe, EANS; Lakmal, RAP; Lakshitha, TGG; Sirimanna, SWDTS; Jayasekara, AGBP [Conference-Full-text]

Service robots are used in a vast range of service applications. Domestic service robots have the requirement of a human-like appearance and inevitably a human-like interactive behaviors. In this paper, a human-like robot ...
Limit cycle like asymptotic dynamics in feedback loops with memory based event triggering

Premaratne, U [Conference-Full-text]

Memory Based Event Triggering (MBET) is a pragmatic approach to reduce the effective sampling rate of a control system. In MBET, periodically sampled state variables and control inputs are encoded such that data ...
