Aligning Accommodation Strategies. Processes

Aligning accommodation strategies of multiple actors with diverging interests and goals in a political environment includes a difficult process. This thesis has tested whether the strategy-as-force model by Daamen (2010) from the urban area development practice, is a useful tool to improve these strategy making processes. The case studies are...

Learning Variable Impedance Control: A Model-Based Approach Using Gaussian Processes

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...

Trench Siltation near the ETM of a Well-mixed Estuary

To exploit its socio-economic functions, engineering measures are regularly applied in estuaries. Estuaries are, however, known to be very complex systems. Stemming from this complexity is the generation of a so-called estuarine turbidity maximum (ETM), which poses great siltation problems to the engineering measures. An engineering measure,...
