The equipment requested in this grant will provide enhanced underpinning capabilities which will support researchers in a range of research areas across Cranfield and beyond. We are requesting: 1. Gas concentration analyser This gas analyser will provide portable, simultaneous, precise measurements of carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, ammonia, and water gas concentrations at parts-per-million to parts-per-billion sensitivities. It is designed for detecting rapid system responses and continuous measurements of emissions across a range of systems. It will complement our existing instrument capabilities, including automated, multiplexed chambers for gas sampling and flux measurements. Real-time analysis of the fluxes of these gases would greatly enhance our ability to undertake measurements of trace greenhouse gas emissions and quantify processes across a range of engineered and natural systems. 2. Upgrade of collaborative robotic environment: -Two robotic manipulators and mounting hardware -Automated mobile robot -Computer control hardware These pieces of equipment will be used to renew and update the collaborative robotics research infrastructure in the Centre for Robotics and Assembly. The vision of the Centre is that we must remove barriers between people and automation and seamlessly integrate them to create a next generation of manufacturing that maximises the interplay between robots and people. The equipment items will work together as part of an integrated 'cell', where the interaction of humans with robots can be studied. The upgrade will not only provide much more up-to-date hardware but will also significantly enhance capability at Cranfield, building on our leading position in understanding the impact of human-robot collaboration on the human.

本赠款中要求的设备将提供增强的基础能力，这将支持Cranfield及其他地区一系列研究领域的研究人员。我们要求：1。气体浓度分析仪该气体分析仪将以每20万至每十分敏感性的良好敏感性提供便携式，同时，精确的二氧化碳，甲烷，一氧化二氮，氨和水气体浓度。它设计用于检测整个系统跨系统的快速系统响应和排放的连续测量。它将补充我们现有的仪器功能，包括自动化的多路复用室进行气体采样和通量测量。对这些气体通量的实时分析将大大提高我们对痕量温室气体排放的测量和量化一系列工程和自然系统的过程的能力。 2。协作机器人环境的升级： - 两种机器人操纵器和安装硬件的移动机器人 - 计算机控制硬件这些设备将用于续订和更新机器人中心和组装中心的协作机器人研究基础设施。该中心的愿景是，我们必须消除人与自动化之间的障碍，并无缝整合它们，以创建下一代制造业，从而最大程度地提高机器人与人之间的相互作用。设备项目将作为集成的“单元”的一部分一起工作，可以研究人类与机器人的相互作用。升级不仅将提供更多最新的硬件，而且还将显着提高Cranfield的能力，这是我们在理解人类机器人协作对人类的影响方面的领先地位。
