DOI: 10.1109/ACCESS.2022.3140645 Electromagnetic Relays (Electromagnetic Relay (EMR)s) are omnipresent in electrical systems, ranging from mass-produced consumer products to highly specialised, safety-critical industrial systems. Our detailed literature review focused on EMR reliability highlighting the methods used to estimate the State of Health or the Remaining Useful Life emphasises the limited analysis and understanding of expressive EMR […]

AI-Driven Maintenance Support for Downhole Tools and Electronics Operated in Dynamic Drilling Environments – Available on IEEE Xplore Open Access
The Oil & Gas industry understands the potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data. However, contrary to AI consumer applications and many other industrial sectors, the dynamic and harsh environments of drilling and production operations as well as the global scale brings a very unique set of challenges for the deployment of industrialised, scalable […]
New Publication: Assessing Safety-Critical Systems from Operational Testing: A Study on Autonomous Vehicles
The Smart Systems Group congratulate Dr. Xingyu Zhao and his research team from Heriot-Watt University and The Centre for Software Reliability at the University of London, who revisit the problem of using operational testing to demonstrate high reliability in autonomous vehicles in their paper titled, “Assessing safety-critical systems from operational testing: A study on autonomous […]
Dr. Xingyu Zhao at ISSRE
Dr. Xingyu Zhao presented work on assessing the safety and reliability of autonomous vehicles through the use of on the road testing at the 30th International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering (ISSRE). He was part of a team of our Smart Systems Group researchers here at Heriot-Watt University, as well as colleagues from University of […]
Drone Safety and Reliability Survey Results
Matthew Osborne, Jenny Lantair and a number of their colleagues have collated the results from their first “Drone Safety and Reliability Survey”. They surveyed Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) registered commercial operators who fly drones in the ever more complex and congested airspace of Britain. The survey aimed to collate the various failure modes currently observed, […]
