Running Specific Prostheses (RSPs) enable running for athletes with lower limb amputations. The RSP design is inspired by human ankle behaviour while running, aiming to replicate its dynamic properties. RSPs are produced using carbon fiber composites that exhibit elastic properties, allowing them to store and return energy. Unlike biological...

Several useful technologies to help people with dementia already exist. Robotic pets, for example, have been shown to alleviate negative symptoms associated with dementia. Most robotic pets, however, only have pet-like functionality. This is useful on its own, but adding additional care functionality would be helpful. A different useful tool for...

Inkjet printing is a technology that has been widely studied and implemented. The liquids that are used for inkjet printing can vary. There is the traditional ink which can be found in almost every household printer. But it is also possible to use inkjet printing to deposit drugs, proteins and nanoparticles on substrates. Inkjet printing has the...

Most of the adversarial attacks suitable for attacking decision tree ensembles work by doing multiple local searches from randomly selected starting points, around the to be attacked victim. In this thesis we investigate the impact of these starting points on the performance of the attack, and find that the starting points significantly impact...

Steel jacket support structures for offshore wind turbine towers made of circular hollow sections (CHS) are becoming a competitive solution compared to monopiles in deeper waters. The current limitation to improving the durability and cost-effectiveness of the CHS structures is the low fatigue endurance of their welded joints. Fatigue-driven...

In the semiconductor industry, the minimumelement size has stepped into nanometer level. To keep the functionality of fabricated nanostructures, there is a huge demand of a technique that can provide non-destructive inspection and allow for in-line or in-situ monitoring during the manufacturing process. Optical scatterometry, which uses the far...

Consumer repair practices are detrimental to advancing the circular economy since they are a vital strategy for prolonging a product‘s lifetime and saving resources. Despite the need for repair services for a functioning circular economy, the practice of Repair for consumers has declined, and more and more citizens prefer product replacement...

To verify the aircraft position provided by Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B)<br/>transponders, multilateration (MLAT) technique incorporates time difference of arrival (TDOA) measurements at multiple ground-based receivers to estimate the corresponding distances between those and the aircraft. This approach requires precise...

Reinforcement Learning applied to flight control has shown to have several benefits over classical, linear flight controllers, as it eliminates the need for gain scheduling and it could provide fault-tolerance. The application to civil aviation in practice, however, is non-existent as there are multiple safety concerns. This research...

Signal transduction in living systems enables adaptive and interactive response to external stimuli. These rudimentary primary processes developed by nature are currently absent in synthetic materials. Implementing these processes in materials can have widespread advances in regenerative medicine, diagnostics or nanomachines. Taking inspiration...

Steel manufacturing is a carbon intensive process, that is responsible for approximately 7% of the total global CO2 emissions. Therefore, TATA Steel IJmuiden aims to lower its carbon emissions. One way to bring down emissions, is to replace the existing blast furnace (BF) CO reduction process with the H2-based direct reduction of iron ore (DRI)....
