Menken, Maarten (author)Lithium-ion batteries are the dominant electrochemical energy storage device and are a key enabler of portable electronics and electric vehicles. However, the technology is often criticized for its use of rare metals. Extending the lifetime of lithium-ion batteries can allow for more time to develop rare metal recycling efforts but this requires...master thesis 2023

van Beers, Jasper (author)As research endeavours and commercial applications demand more of the quadrotor, it is only natural to develop models which can facilitate this. Currently, analytical descriptions of the quadrotor are rudimentary and most data-driven quadrotor models are identified from flight data collected indoors. Therefore, existing quadrotor models are...master thesis 2021

Commijs, Tjeerd (author)Accurate models of driver steering behavior are essential with ever-growing automation in road vehicles. In this project, the effects of driving speed on steering behavior on winding roads are investigated and modeled. Data were collected in a human-in-the-loop curve driving experiment with fifteen participants, who were asked to drive at five...master thesis 2021

Seco Rodrigues, Nuno António (author)Systems and Control deals with modelling and control design of many different types of systems with different behaviour and characteristics. Often times it is challenging to build mathematical models to describe the system dynamics due to limited knowledge of the underlying system, complex nonlinearities, or the existence of unknown exogenous...master thesis 2021

Zhang, Chenxi (author)Unmanned vehicles are a vital topic in today’s science and technology field. The safety problem of unmanned vehicles has been paid more attention from researchers. People are continually developing new control technologies, making the auxiliary driving or control of vehicles more accurate and reliable. Before designing a reliable controller,...master thesis 2021

Bains, Karan (author)Flapping wing micro air vehicles (FWMAV's) are a subcategory of unmanned aerial vehicle which use flapping wings for thrust generation. The high agility and maneuverability of FWMAV's are very favorable attributes, making them more applicable in cluttered spaces. A tailless FWMAV called the Delfly Nimble has been developed at the Delft...master thesis 2020

Trevisan, E. (author)Microscopic imaging has a resolution that is often far from the diffraction limit due to aberrations induced by the optics or by the sample itself. It is therefore of interest sensing these aberrations either directly or indirectly to improve image quality in post-processing or with adaptive optics. To avoid the use of extra hardware, several...master thesis 2020

Karagöz, Ridvan (author)B-splines are basis functions for the spline function space and are extensively used in applications requiring function approximation. The generalization of B-splines to multiple dimensions is done through tensor products of their univariate basis functions. The number of basis functions and weights that define a multivariate B-spline surface,...master thesis 2020

Stikvoort, Diederik (author)Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is themost frequent form of motor neuron diseases (MND). This neurodegenerativedisease progresses relentlessly quick. The characteristic feature of ALS is theconcurrent degeneration of the upper and lower motoneurons (UMN & LMN) inthe central and peripheral nervous system. Symptomatic...master thesis 2019

Kolff, Maurice (author)In car driving, manual control to keep a vehicle within its lane is mainly performed based on visual information of the road ahead. Linear models describing behavior in such tasks can therefore be directly based on the human perception of the visual scene, although it is currently unclear how this perception guides control behavior. In...master thesis 2019

Richa, Eduardo (author)The detection of unusual behavior plays a crucial role in the prevention of illegal and harmful activities such as smuggling, piracy, arms trading, human trafficking and illegal immigration. Also for military applications, it is useful to detect anomalous behavior to provide an alert for potential threats, especially with the more recent...master thesis 2018

Ossenkoppele, Boudewine (author)Ultrasound gives the opportunity to look at muscles and observe their change in length. This tool has increased the knowledge about muscle-tendon dynamics and sometimes revealed surprising muscle stretch behaviour. System identification experiments use robots to disturb the ankle and measure its torque and angle. Muscle movement is derived from...master thesis 2018

van Ingen, Joost (author)From 2019 onwards, airline pilots will be required to follow stall training in simulators. A major open research question is which level of model fidelity is required for effective training. As part of an effort to answer this question, a stall model of a Cessna Citation II aircraft is developed from specifically-gathered flight test data. The...master thesis 2017

Rijks, F.G.J. (author)The effects of horizontal tail geometry and position on longitudinal flapping-wing micro aerial vehicle dynamics were studied using wind tunnel and free-flight experiments. Linearised models were used to analyse the effect on the dynamic properties of the ornithopter. Results show higher steady-state velocity and increased pitch damping for...master thesis 2017

Rezunenko, E.M. (author)This paper presents an experimental validation of a recently developed two-point human controller (HC) model for preview tracking tasks. During a human-in-the-loop experiment, subjects tracked identical target signals with zero preview, 1.5 seconds of preview, and two occlusion conditions, blocking either the 0-0.5 s, or 0.35-0.85 s region from...master thesis 2016

Bautista Gauna, J.E. (author)New system identification methods are developing constantly to come up with solutions that can take into account all of the factors that real-time systems have. These factors affect the analysis of the system’s behavior, particularly noise, non-linearities, system’s complexity, time varying changes, among others. This thesis is concerned with...master thesis 2016

Amarnath, A. (author)This paper is on auto-tuning of controller parameters by deriving the external linkage physical parameters. Based on the change in linkage parameters, the actuator parameters are tuned in the software that drives it. The linkage parameters are estimated using a nonlinear least square solver. The least squares estimator used in this paper is the...master thesis 2016

Lustenhouwer, J. (author)Motor skill learning is the change in the capability to perform smooth and accurate movements, for example, complicated actions like playing sports or driving a car have to be learned through practice. Defective motor skills resulting from neurological diseases have severe negative effects on quality of life. Subjects have to relearn the skills...master thesis 2016

De Vries, R.J. (author)This paper investigated if a pursuit tracking task could be used to quantify the loss of motor skills due to Parkinson's disease (PD) by using system identification methods. A human-in-the-loop experiment consisting of PD patients and a healthy age-gender matched control group was conducted at the Erasmus University Medical Center. A pursuit...master thesis 2016

Barendswaard, S. (author)Aircraft manual control tasks require simultane- ous control of multiple degrees-of-freedom. Unfortunately, most multi-axis human-operator modeling is limited to the modeling of multiple fully-independent axis. Therefore our goal is to contribute to the understanding of multi-axis manual control behaviour and develop a more realistic picture of...master thesis 2016
