Van Baar, I.J. (author), El Bakkali, Z. (author), Van Dalfsen, J.J. (author), Van der Schrier, E.D. (author), Vogelzang, L.G.J. (author)In the history of the World Solar Challenge, a six day challenge from Darwin to Adelaide, one car has proved to be dominating: the Nuon Solar Car. A telemetry application played an important role in this, but needed to be updated. This was realised by the new Mission Control application project: "Building a GUI for Nuna's Mission Control". In...bachelor thesis 2014

Drenth, J.F.T. (author)Graduation project on the Public Realm. Topic of study is how to restructure the city of Rotterdam to increase its legibility. Furthermore the design focuses on creating an a-typical typical plan. A plan that can be repeated, thus inheriting the qualities of Typical Plan -flexibility and legibility, without giving in to the worst threat of...master thesis 2014

Wensveen, M.H. (author)Optimistic Planning is a model-based online planning algorithm that guarantees near-optimal actions for the control arbitrarily nonlinear systems. Planning algorithms aim to find optimal actions by starting from the current state and developing a tree representation of sequences of actions and resulting states, using a model to simulate state...master thesis 2014

Lakerveld, R. (author), Benyahia, B. (author), Heider, P.L. (author), Zhang, H. (author), Braatz, R.D. (author), Barton, P.I. (author)The judicious use of buffering capacity is important in the development of future continuous pharmaceutical manufacturing processes. The potential benefits are investigated of using optimal-averaging level control for tanks that have buffering capacity for a section of a continuous pharmaceutical pilot plant involving two crystallizers, a...journal article 2013

Valk, R. (author)This master thesis describes the dynamical behaviour of a loudspeaker woofer and the modelling of it. By the use of the knowledge gained from the model, a feedback controller is implemented in order to enhance the woofer’s performance in terms of acoustic total harmonic distortion (THD) and low frequency bandwidth. The first objective of the...master thesis 2013

Bliek, L. (author)Most robots receive information about their own dynamics or about their environment before starting to work on their tasks. This makes them less fit for operating in unknown environments without human supervision. In this thesis, the goal is to let a robot learn the relation between its actions and perceptions autonomously. This problem is...master thesis 2013

Papadopoulou, A. (author)The current graduation project is investigating contemporary spatial conditions in the Balkan territory. The overall theme of the code has been carried carefully throughout the whole process tracing the development of spatial conditions from the 15th century until today. Within this timeframe the code has emerged from an underlying power...master thesis 2013

Verlaan, J.G. (author), Schoenmaker, R. (author)The infrastructure in the Netherlands is crucial for economic development on a national scale. Dramatic increases of transport and mobility accelerate ageing of infrastructure. The GNP of the Netherlands is strongly related to transport and to the two main ports (Port of Rotterdam and Amsterdam Airport Schiphol). The Netherlands is used to a...conference paper 2013

Muris, V.L.C. (author)Industrial buildings, used as warehouses or distribution centres, are characterized by large doors which are opened temporarily or for longer periods. A new technique - called Ambergy - is investigated which prevents unnecessary energy loss through open overhead doors in heated industrial halls. This technique consists of a smart coupling...master thesis 2013

Appelman, N. (author)Already for some time, electronic enhancements regarding vehicle behavior has made its way into the aviation and automotive industry by the term "by-wire" technology. Electronic sensors and actuators are used to replace traditional mechanical systems in which software is used to operate the actuators in a way that is not possible with...master thesis 2012

Valk, M.L. (author)The available shoulder harness controlled prostheses do no fulfill the requirements of the users. It is unknown for which operating forces and cable displacements the user can make good use of proprioceptive feedback without feeling pain, discomfort or fatigue. These operating forces and cable displacements can be related to grasping forces and...master thesis 2012

Kuiper, S. (author)This research is focused on improving the mechatronic design and control strategies of Atomic Force Microscopes (AFM) in order to increase the imaging speed of these instruments, while maintaining the resolution and accuracy of AFM. Different techniques are developed which have led to a faster lateral scanning speed, higher bandwidth control of...doctoral thesis 2012

Wesselingh, J. (author)In the production of integrated circuits, solar cells, flat panel displays and elec- tronics, thin plates are often used as a base for manufacturing. Examples are silicon wafers and glass panels on which several process steps build transistors, pixels and interconnects. To improve the production throughput these features are made smaller while...doctoral thesis 2011

Alvarez Cabrera, A.A. (author)Design activities, including control design, are becoming increasingly difficult due to a corresponding increase in product and product development complexity. Model-based (or driven) engineering, development and design have become common concepts related to modern complex product development practices. However, it is argued here that currently...doctoral thesis 2011
