Goudswaard, Reef (author)This bachelor's thesis explores the realm of map projections, aiming to establish a systematic approach for evaluating and ranking them based on angular and area distortions. Beginning with a definition of map projections, the study progresses to quantify the distortions that occur when projecting a spherical surface onto a flat one. Using these...bachelor thesis 2024

Schelbergen, M. (author)The potential of utility-scale airborne wind energy (AWE) systems to contribute significantly to the energy transition hinges on their large-scale deployment, which depends on the cost-competitiveness and complementarity with conventional wind turbines. Central to the assessment of these metrics is understanding long-term energy production,...doctoral thesis 2024

Berjaoui Tahmaz, Amin (author)This paper presents a hierarchical reinforcement learning framework for efficient robotic manipulation in sequential contact tasks. We leverage this hierarchical structure to sequentially execute behavior primitives with variable stiffness control capabilities for contact tasks. Our proposed approach relies on three key components: an action...master thesis 2024

Talsma, Marit (author)The quantum internet improves upon the classical internet with several new possibilities. However, to create such a quantum internet, metropolitan hubs (for this research we will use an Entanglement Generation Switch - EGS - as hub) are needed to avoid a scaling problem when connecting all end nodes individually with one another. These EGSs...master thesis 2024

Rinauro, B. (author), Begovic, E. (author), Mauro, F. (author), Rosano, G. (author)The seaway trade market has expanded in the last years and container ship dimensions are constantly increasing for higher cargo capacity. In the early design stage, main dimensions are usually determined based on an existing ship database from which regression formulas are derived. In the present paper, a database of 260 non-sister container...journal article 2024
