Fork safely: improving safety of ordinary forklifts by automating task-specific operations. Forklift trucks are used for goods handling extensively in all sectors of industry. However, statistics show high figures of forklift accidents, with an average of 250 serious injuries per year in Victoria alone. This project will seek to address the operational safety of forklifts by automating the execution of typical forklift tasks.
A novel framework for designing input excitation for system identification. Engineers need mathematical models describing the behaviour of the components they use in their design. This project aims at resolving some critical issues faced by the researchers developing cutting edge mathematical software for building such models.
