Mae Canolfan Deallusrwydd Artiffisial, Roboteg a Systemau Peiriant-Dynol (IROHMS) yn canolbwyntio ar lawer o sectorau o bwysigrwydd strategol byd-eang, gan gynnwys gweithgynhyrchu digidol a roboteg, ffactorau dynol a seicoleg wybyddol, cyfrifiadura symudol a chymdeithasol, deallusrwydd artiffisial (AI).

Rydym yn elwa o gyfleusterau seilwaith ymchwil newydd a gwell ar draws yr Ysgolion Peirianneg, Seicoleg a Chyfrifiadureg a Gwybodeg sy'n cynnwys y Lab Systemau Ymreolaethol a Roboteg a'r Lab Rhyngweithio Peiriant-Dynol yn yr Ysgol Peirianneg, a Lab Efelychu IROHMS yn yr Ysgol Seicoleg.

This facility provides state of the art measurement systems for teaching and research activities. It is based upon a long-standing collaboration between the School and Renishaw who provided and continue to support a suite of their world leading measurement equipment.

Co-ordinate measuring machine (CMM) equipment

Industrial scale CMM fitted with a Renishaw controller and REVO-2 multi-axis measuring head and probe system. This includes an SFP2 surface finish measurement system supporting single solution measurement capabilities.

Two off Equator 300 flexible gauging systems and fixturing kits provide advanced flexible measurement capability within a user-friendly and robust package.

Multiple licences for MODUS software and support for the REVO and Equator applications enable the migration of measurement applications from the CMM onto the Equators.

Machine tool performance verification

QC20-W wireless ball-bar system for measuring a CNC machine tool's positioning performance to recognised international standards.

Machine tool probing, workpiece and tool setting systems linked to CNC Reporter to provide real-time process monitoring capabilities.

Enabled research

The CMM functions underpin ongoing research in the co-located Additive Layer and Condition Monitoring Laboratories. This includes current and recently completed PhD projects:

• Theocharis Alexopoulos: Process Design and Supervision: a next generation simulation approach to digitalised manufacturing.
• Jacob Hill: Optimisation of Tool Life through Novel Data Acquisition and Decision Making Techniques. Jointly funded by EPSRC and Renishaw iCASE award.
• Paul O’Regan: Process Capability Management for Additive Manufacturing. Jointly funded by EPSRC and Renishaw iCASE award.
• Zinah Ahmed: An integrated approach to tool life management.

Supported teaching

Access to this system has introduced advanced CMM technology to students at all levels. They can be configured according to the needs of the application making them ideal for undergraduate and postgraduate teaching and research projects.

Every Mechanical Engineering undergraduate and masters student has undertaken work within this environment during their studies.

Our facilities are used for research on quantum light sources, two-dimensional semiconductors and photonic nanostructures.

We work closely with the Ser Cymru Advanced Materials and Devices group, the Institute for Compound Semiconductors and the Condensed Matter and Photonics group in the School of Physics and Astronomy to manufacture, test and model our devices.

Technical features

Since work started on the lab in 2018 our labs have been equipped with equipment for high resolution cryogenic magneto-spectroscopy, time-correlated single photon counting and quantum optics. Equipment includes:

• Closed cycle magneto-cryostat (AttoDry1000) for optical measurements down to 4k in magnetic fields up to 9T.
• A tuneable CW titanium-sapphire laser (M-squared Solstis).
• A tuneable pulsed titanium-sapphire laser (Coherent Mira) capable of picosecond and femtosecond operation.
• Spectrometers equipped with Silicon CCDs (Andor).
• 8-channel superconducting single photon detector system enclosed in a closed-cycle cryocooler (IDQuantique ID281)
• Time-correlated single photon counting electronics (IDQuantique ID900).
• Arbitrary Waveform Generator capable of 14 Gs/s (Agilent M8190A)
• Silicon Avalanche Photo-diodes for single photon detection in the visible and NIR (Excelitas SPCM)
• Precision homemade exfoliation/transfer system 'Gwneuthurwr Haen' for micron-scale positioning (including a Nikon LV microscope).
• Miscellaneous pulsed/CW/variable frequency lasers covering the visible spectrum.
• Assorted homemade microscope imaging systems for room temperature and cryogenic measurements.

Practical applications

The team works to develop and test novel photonic quantum technologies based on semiconductors. We have strong relationships with technology companies such as National Physical Laboratory, Oxford Instruments Plasma Technology and Newport Wafer Fab., who collaborate on projects and co-sponsor students in our group.

Current key projects include the development of a bright and indistinguishable light source for optical quantum computing and simulation (EPSRC National Hub in Quantum Computing and Simulation), the manufacture of low cost electrically driven quantum light sources (EPSRC Fellowship) and the laser assisted creation of nanostructures in wide-band gap semiconductors (LasIonDef)

We are very grateful for equipment funding from the School of Engineering, EPSRC, HEFCW, The Royal Society and the EU.
