Mijnster, Stijn (author)Shared mobility systems allow individuals to rent vehicles on an as-needed basis. The benefit of this is that these individuals does not have to buy the vehicle themselves and only pay for its use. These shared mobility systems are becoming increasingly popular due to the fact that sharing vehicles means fewer are required and fewer resources...student report 2022

Sjerps, Thomas (author)Chromostereoscopic images encode depth as colour, with the red part of the visible spectrum encoding nearby depths and the blue part encoding far-away depths. However, when encoding a regular image with its depth, the generated colours may not match with the original colours in the image. Following a user study, a technique has been developed...bachelor thesis 2022

Kowalewski, Przemysław (author)STOKE is one of the Superoptimizers which are programs that given a function and a set of instructions of a processor, traverse through a space of programs that compute a given function and try to find the optimal usually in terms of execution speed or size of the binary. Authors of STOKE make some extraordinary claims. They suggest that it is...bachelor thesis 2022

Hablé, Joelle (author)Floating photovoltaic (FPV) is an emerging concept. Potential is recognized in combining FPV and off shore wind farms to create an offshore wind and solar farm. One of the remaining uncertainties around the potential of an offshore wind and solar farm is the value of the operations and maintenance cost. As one of the main contributing factors...master thesis 2022

van Bavel, Henri (author)In order to improve the autonomy of construction robots, a Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) solution is needed that localizes the robot using solely on-board sensing with sub-5 mm accuracy. As pointed out by the results of the Hilti SLAM Challenge, the state-of-the-art in SLAM currently does not offer a solution that comes close to...master thesis 2022

Prevaes, Matthijs (author)Adequate flood protection is important to many countries, but especially so to the Netherlands. With a large share of its population centers located below sea level, in so-called polders, the need for flood protection systems quickly becomes apparent. This need is even more pressing with the rise of sea levels and the increase in river discharge...student report 2022

Thomson, Michael (author)The potential gain in energy production and profit by improving the placements of turbines within a wind farm is driving interest. However, finding the optimal placements provides a complex problem. A large number of inter-dependent design variables create a design space that is difficult to solve. Therefore there is much attention for offshore...master thesis 2021
