Willems, M.E. (author)A study is performed analyzing the behavioral adaptation of pilots in skill based ramp tracking tasks performed with pursuit display. From data analyses of previous ramp tracking experiments an indication is found that pilots who repeatedly perform the same ramp tracking task show a high level of adaptation to characteristics of the control task...master thesis 2012

Oudenaarden, S.A.C. (author)The graduation project ‘Framed space vs. Free space’ is about the differences between space free to plan by the user and controlled space by authorities in urban and landscape design. These are degrees of control on different scales. Scales in urbanism are assigned to get a grip on the complexity of the city, to understand the processes and...master thesis 2014

van Spaandonk, V. (author)Modern robotic systems are increasingly expected to interact with unstructured and unpredictable environments. This has reiterated the importance of sophisticated reasoning and adaptive motor skill learning. Although low-level methodologies for sensorimotor control have been relatively well studied, constrained motion for robotic manipulators in...master thesis 2016

Meijer, D.B. (author)Blockchain technology is increasingly being seen as a general purpose technology with far reaching (institutional) effects. However, the ongoing empirical blockchain discussions on these effects are unstructured, due to high complexities. Both practitioners and researchers therefore struggle to get to the core of blockchain technology...master thesis 2017

Noodelijk, Reinoudt (author)This Report covers the initial research into modeling the Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy (SECM) system for the purposes of high precision control. The SECM system is a microscope based around electro-chemical effects. It operates in several modes relating on degrees of conductivity of the involved elements. The control is to be based on the...master thesis 2017

Bekker, Bernard (author), Sikkes, Louis (author), Goudriaan, Maiko (author), Meeuwissen, Ruben (author)In order to measure the spectrum of radio emissions from galaxies and other deep space objects, a new superconducting spectrometer, working at very cold temperatures close to the absolute zero, is developed. An advanced cooling system called a cryostat is used to cool down the spectrometer. The cool down of the cryostat involves the control of...bachelor thesis 2017

Ravi, Siddharth (author)This project addresses a fundamental problem faced by many reinforcement learning agents. Commonly used reinforcement learning agents can be seen to have deteriorating performances at increasing frequencies, as they are unable to correctly learn the ordering of expected returns for actions that are applied. We call this the disappearing...master thesis 2017

Boumzaouad, Mohamed (author)During offshore installations in harsh sea conditions, the involved gangway system must satisfy rigorous requirements in terms of safety and accuracy. The forces resulting from the vessel motion have an extensive effect on the overall gangway structure and its lifetime. Moreover, vessel motion handicaps the operator during fine positioning of...master thesis 2017

Kitkauskas, Mantas (author)Armenia faces international conflicts especially with Azerbaijan and Turkey. There is always a chance of a sudden intensification of conflicts what results in extreme militarization of country as well as strengthened social control. Social control gains new level as the relation between government and society is also complicated. As a...master thesis 2018

Baron, Koen (author)Tall buildings lose a big part of their expensive space to elevator shafts. A ropeless elevator reduces the amount of shafts, because multiple cabins are able to move in the same shaft. Currently an elevator using a row of linear motors along the shaft is in the end phase of development. Tests on a full scale prototype 5 have proven the concept....master thesis 2018

Coroli, Iurie (author)When acquiring information using imaging techniques, one wants to achieve the best possible resolution in order to obtain valuable results. In the ideal scenario the size of the smallest resolved object features is limited by the wave properties of light, with a number of techniques developed to overcome this limit. In real life measurements the...master thesis 2018
