Lijcklama à Nijeholt, Floortje (author)As technology continues to evolve at a rapid pace, robots are becoming an increasingly common sight in our daily lives. <br/>Robots that work with humans need to adapt to a variety of users and tasks, and learn to optimise their behaviour. For non-specialist users to interact with such robots, the robot's learning process needs to be transparent...master thesis 2023

Dielissen, Tim (author)Introduction: During the sit-to-stand (STS) motion, thigh push-of (TP) is frequently used, yet the biomechanical advantage for the upper extremity, is relatively unknown. In this thesis, the STS motion is analyzed for three different techniques; TP, armrest push-off (AP), and no arm aid (NA). The aim of this study is to determine the...master thesis 2023

Dos Santos Vieira Brysch, S.L. (author), Gruis, V.H. (author), Czischke, D.K. (author)Building costs play a significant role in determining the affordability of a housing project, and these depend to a large extent on design choices. This paper is based on the premise that collaborative design processes, or co-design, used in collaborative housing (CH) in Europe reduce building costs and consequently increase the affordability of...journal article 2023

Hadjisotiriou, George (author), Mansour Pour, K. (author), Voskov, D.V. (author)In this study, we utilize deep neural networks to approximate operators of a nonlinear partial differential equation (PDE), within the Operator-Based Linearization (OBL) simulation framework, and discover the physical space for a physics-based proxy model with reduced degrees of freedom. In our methodology, observations from a high-fidelity...conference paper 2023

Shiomi, Y. (author), Li, G. (author), Knoop, V.L. (author)Traffic dynamics on freeways are stochastic in nature because of errors in perception and operation of drivers as well as the heterogeneity between and within drivers. This stochasticity is often represented in car-following models by a stochastic term, which is assumed to follow a normal distribution for the convenience of mathematical...journal article 2023

Piazzoni, Andrea (author), Cherian, Jim (author), Dauwels, J.H.G. (author), Chau, Lap Pui (author)Even though virtual testing of Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) has been well recognized as essential for safety assessment, AV simulators are still undergoing active development. One particular challenge is the problem of including the Sensing and Perception (S&P) subsystem into the virtual simulation loop in an efficient and effective manner....journal article 2023

Gu, Siwen (author), Wang, Jiaan (author), You, X. (author), Zhuang, Yu (author)Improving mass transfer in gas diffusion layers is critical to achieving high-performance proton-exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). Leaks through the interface between the gas and the membrane electrode assembly frame have been widely investigated, and the controllability of the cathode gas diffusion has not been achieved in most studies....journal article 2023

Tang, Tie Qiao (author), Nicolas, Alexandre (author), Lee, Seungjae (author), Daamen, W. (author), Song, Ziqi (author)In the study of pedestrian dynamics, the consideration of group behaviours is essential, as group interaction within crowds is a common phenomenon and significantly influences pedestrian behaviours. This special issue highlights the importance of pedestrian group behaviours and examines the subject using a wide range of methods, such as...contribution to periodical 2023

Haasnoot, Jelle (author), Happee, R. (author), van der Wijk, V. (author), Schwab, A.L. (author)Bicycle simulators have been the subject of considerable research, however, few of these attempts have integrated direct balance control and realistic freedom of motion to deliver a real-world dynamic cycling experience. This study presents the BIKE (Bicycle Intrinsic Kinematics Emulator) system, a kinematic bicycle simulator, developed with...journal article 2023

(author), Bosch, Johannes G. (author)It has been previously demonstrated that applying an aberrating mask for 2D compressive imaging using a low number of sensors (elements) can significantly improve image resolution, as evaluated via the point spread function. Here we investigate the potential to apply a similar approach for 3D flow monitoring. We conducted a 3D k-Wave simulation...conference paper 2023

Langens, Coco (author)Manipulating soft and fragile objects is a challenging task in robotic grasping. The key challenge for robotic grasping is to exert enough grip force to prevent slipping while being gentle enough to prevent damage to an object. Existing grippers used for processes like automatic harvesting of fruits, either apply excessive grip force leading to...master thesis 2022

Aliberti, Dylan (author)The aim of this thesis was to test the efficiency in practice of an analytical propagator with collision detection for <i>N</i>-body Keplerian systems. This can be used to simulate the evolution of a protoplanetary disk, which gives insight into how planetary systems form. The analytic propagator calculates collisions one by one, while a...bachelor thesis 2022
