Meijerman, M.J. (author)The number of cars on the road and the need for transportation has increased rapidly during the past decades, leading to an increase of congestion. Traffic congestion and delays lead to high societal costs. Congestion leads to a capacity drop, i.e. the capacity of the road is reduced when congestion sets in. Due to limited financial and physical...master thesis 2015

Linskens, H.T.K. (author)Recent years have seen a steep increase in research being performed towards active space debris removal: space debris has proven to be a very real threat to operational spacecraft, and studies indicate that the frequency of collisions will only increase if nothing is done to remove large pieces of debris. In particular, ESA has done studies...master thesis 2015

Van Niekerk, H.A.J. (author)The challenge in this thesis is to find out if an off-the-shelf embedded system can replace an off-the-shelf laptop or desktop computer when its task is to perform vision-based velocity control using inverse kinematics on a robotic arm. The results of this thesis are that an algorithm was developed which had to be tested in simulation and should...master thesis 2014

Holtkamp, G.C. (author)This report deals with the design of a complete guidance, navigation and control system for a planetary lander on Enceladus, for both descent and repositioning. A basic lander model with a main engine, attitude thrusters and a landing gear is presented, for which the equations of motion in different reference frames are derived, including the...master thesis 2014

Voglitsis, D. (author)The utilization of IPT technology in electric vehicles (EVs) charging applications and in the microgrid restoration/islanding mode, has the potential to bring about a change in how EVs are perceived today. Firstly in consumer level, by making the charging process more convenient, safe and user-friendly, by removing the messy cords , and secondly...master thesis 2014

Kootstra, P. (author)This thesis investigates whether interval methods can be employed in the construction of a novel controller synthesis algorithm based on backward induction. Interval methods are methods employing interval arithmetic, which is an arithmetic defined on real-valued intervals rather than on real-valued numbers. In the controller synthesis algorithm...master thesis 2014

Drenth, J.F.T. (author)Graduation project on the Public Realm. Topic of study is how to restructure the city of Rotterdam to increase its legibility. Furthermore the design focuses on creating an a-typical typical plan. A plan that can be repeated, thus inheriting the qualities of Typical Plan -flexibility and legibility, without giving in to the worst threat of...master thesis 2014

Wensveen, M.H. (author)Optimistic Planning is a model-based online planning algorithm that guarantees near-optimal actions for the control arbitrarily nonlinear systems. Planning algorithms aim to find optimal actions by starting from the current state and developing a tree representation of sequences of actions and resulting states, using a model to simulate state...master thesis 2014

Valk, R. (author)This master thesis describes the dynamical behaviour of a loudspeaker woofer and the modelling of it. By the use of the knowledge gained from the model, a feedback controller is implemented in order to enhance the woofer’s performance in terms of acoustic total harmonic distortion (THD) and low frequency bandwidth. The first objective of the...master thesis 2013

Bliek, L. (author)Most robots receive information about their own dynamics or about their environment before starting to work on their tasks. This makes them less fit for operating in unknown environments without human supervision. In this thesis, the goal is to let a robot learn the relation between its actions and perceptions autonomously. This problem is...master thesis 2013

Papadopoulou, A. (author)The current graduation project is investigating contemporary spatial conditions in the Balkan territory. The overall theme of the code has been carried carefully throughout the whole process tracing the development of spatial conditions from the 15th century until today. Within this timeframe the code has emerged from an underlying power...master thesis 2013

Muris, V.L.C. (author)Industrial buildings, used as warehouses or distribution centres, are characterized by large doors which are opened temporarily or for longer periods. A new technique - called Ambergy - is investigated which prevents unnecessary energy loss through open overhead doors in heated industrial halls. This technique consists of a smart coupling...master thesis 2013

Appelman, N. (author)Already for some time, electronic enhancements regarding vehicle behavior has made its way into the aviation and automotive industry by the term "by-wire" technology. Electronic sensors and actuators are used to replace traditional mechanical systems in which software is used to operate the actuators in a way that is not possible with...master thesis 2012

Van der Sluijs, I.L. (author)This thesis concerns the design and construction of an automatic drilling fluid measurement setup and the use of such setup to control the drilling fluid pH. The construction of the experimental setup include modifications to the acquired rheometer to obtain reliable batch rheology measurements within the typical viscosity range of a shear...master thesis 2012

It is unknown for which operating forces and cable displacements the user can make good use of proprioceptive feedback without feeling pain, discomfort or fatigue. These operating forces and cable displacements can be related to grasping forces and...master thesis 2012

Lintzen, C.S. (author)A human with muscle weakness can wear a rehabilitation device, e.g. exoskeleton, to receive support during walking. How can this support be adjusted in real-time to the intention of the user? The given support should be intuitive, user-specific, compliant and robust to sensor noise. We suggest the use of an adaptive oscillator, which can detect...master thesis 2011
