(author)Cross-coupled iterative learning control (ILC) can improve the contour tracking performance of manufacturing systems significantly. This paper aims to develop a framework for norm-optimal cross-coupled ILC that enables intuitive tuning of time- and iteration-varying weights of the exact contour error and its tangential counterpart. This leads...journal article 2024

(author), Hoekstra, Nienke (author), Astreinidou, Eleftheria (author), Staring, M. (author)Background and purpose: Retrospective dose evaluation for organ-at-risk auto-contours has previously used small cohorts due to additional manual effort required for treatment planning on auto-contours. We aimed to do this at large scale, by a) proposing and assessing an automated plan optimization workflow that used existing clinical plan...journal article 2024

van der Drift, Victor (author)This thesis presents a comprehensive approach to integrating a trajectory planner and follower for autonomous vehicles (AVs) using model predictive contouring control (MPCC). The planner generates collision-free trajectories with a kinematic bicycle model, while the follower tracks them using a dynamic bicycle model with a smaller integration...master thesis 2023

Makkinje, Andri (author)The goal of radiotherapy is to maximize the dose to the target while minimizing the dose to normal tissue. Treatment plans are optimized for this goal and dose delivery is improved in accuracy and precision. The optimization is based on the delineations of the volumes of interest on the medical images of the patient. The problem is that these...master thesis 2023

de Boer, Lotte (author)Icebergs drifting through the Southern Ocean release fresh water and nutrients. This has local impacts on surrounding ecosystems and sea ice formation. On a global scale, salinity patterns and ocean circulation are affected. In addition, <br/> tudying icebergs as a proxy for ice shelves in a warming climate can help predict future climate...master thesis 2023

Zhang, Li (author), Dong, Y. (author), Farah, H. (author), van Arem, B. (author)The gradual deployment of automated vehicles (AVs) results in mixed traffic where AVs will interact with human-driven vehicles (HDVs). Thus, social-aware motion planning and control while considering interactions with HDVs on the road is critical for AVs' deployment and safe driving under various maneuvers. Previous research mostly focuses on...conference paper 2023

Zijlstra, Maarten (author)The dolmens erected in the province of Drenthe between 3350-2700 BC are the most ancient monuments of the Netherlands. They consist of a long assemblage of rocks capped with boulders which served as burial chambers for the Funnel Beaker population. Despite their robust look, dolmens are vulnerable. For example, one of the caprocks of dolmen D14...master thesis 2022

RUIZ ALBA, MAITE (author)<b>Background and purpose</b>: One of the main challenges in external beam radiotherapy treatment of locally advanced cervical cancer patients is dealing with bladder and rectum filling. Organ filling causes interfraction motion of the uterus, requiring large treatment planning volumes, or a plan library. Current assessment of tumor position is...master thesis 2022

Qi, Jiaming (author), Ma, Guangfu (author), Zhu, J. (author), Zhou, Peng (author), Lyu, Yueyong (author), Zhang, Haibo (author), Navarro-Alarcon, David (author)The robotic manipulation of composite rigid-deformable objects (i.e., those with mixed nonhomogeneous stiffness properties) is a challenging problem with clear practical applications that, despite the recent progress in the field, it has not been sufficiently studied in the literature. To deal with this issue, in this article, we propose a...journal article 2022

Pramana, K.E.R. (author), Ertsen, M.W. (author)In the first decade of the 21st century, a water harvesting approach based on contour trenches—ditches to catch runoff—from Kenya was proposed as groundwater recharge technology in a semi-arid area in Ninh Phuoc district, Vietnam. In order to modify this solutions to tackle water scarcity, hydrological conditions at the site needed to be known....journal article 2022

Saeidtehrani, S. (author), Lavidas, G. (author), Metrikine, A. (author)The process of finding values of extreme waves and their impacts on wave energy converter (WEC) responses, depends on both wave resources and WEC dynamic characteristics. A wide range of waves can influence the reliability of operation and survivability of a WEC. In this paper, a methodology is described to find specific values of wave heights...conference paper 2022

Xin, Jianbin (author), Qu, Yaoguang (author), Zhang, Fangfang (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author)Existing motion planning algorithms for multi-robot systems must be improved to address poor coordination and increase low real-time performance. This paper proposes a new distributed real-time motion planning method for a multi-robot system using Model Predictive Contouring Control (MPCC). MPCC allows separating the tracking accuracy and...journal article 2022

Springer, Sam (author)The delineation of the regions of interest (ROIs) plays an important role in the radiotherapy workflow. The ROIs include the gross tumor volume (GTV), the clinical target volume (CTV), the planning target volume (PTV) and organs at risk (OARs). There are however uncertainties related to the delineation of the ROIs due to interobserver...master thesis 2021
