Panichi, Edoardo (author)
In this thesis, we introduce a novel approach aimed at enhancing the jumping and landing capabilities of quadruped robots. Our method integrates both model-based and model-free strategies and features a behavioral cloning framework designed to reduce computational delays often encountered in trajectory optimization.<br/><br/>Initially, we build...

In this study, we perform human identification using accumulated radar point clouds in an outdoor scene. We employ PointNet as classification network and explore the impact of adding radars' non-spatial features as input, namely doppler velocity and radar cross section (RCS). Furthermore, we encode time as an additional time identity dimension...

Noise's impact on biochemical systems has long been a focal point of investigation, given its potential to compromise signal accuracy and disrupt system functionality. This paper conducts a comprehensive exploration into the noise characteristics within a set of signal differentiators recognized for their high precision. Noteworthy for their...

Time-sensitive medical emergencies resulting from the entry of harmful agents into the body require immediate and urgent medical attention to prevent irreversible symptoms or fatalities. However, the current process for urgent care relies on human intervention, which can introduce significant delays and potentially compromise the effectiveness...

Banks such as Rabobank depend on multi-year mortgage prepayment forecasts in order to make provisions for the associated prepayment risks. The econometric models they use are fitted to historical data, and as a consequence their models are fitted to a decreasing interest rate regime. Given the current economic climate of increasing interest...

Relative localization (RL) is essential for the successful operation of micro air vehicle (MAV) swarms. Achieving accurate 3-D RL in infrastructure-free and GPS-denied environments with only distance information is a challenging problem that has not been satisfactorily solved. In this work, based on the range-based peer-to-peer RL using the...

Autonomous driving is attracting growing attention because of the potential advantages it poses on safety, leisure, energy efficiency, reduced emissions, and traffic reduction. Current research is focusing on areas related to artificial intelligence to solve complex planning and decision-making tasks, object detection, or simultaneous...

There is growing interest to control cyber-physical systems under complex specifications while retaining formal performance guarantees. In this thesis we present a framework for formal control of uncertain systems under complex specifications. We consider dynamical systems with random disturbances, whose probability distribution is unknown. When...

Since industrialization, world population is constantly on the rise, and so the demand for nutritious and healthy food is increasing as well. Traditional agriculture is steadily extended with and substituted by crop growing in greenhouses, which has better yield, more resistance against weather extremes, and overall more control over the growing...

We propose a novel method combining elements of supervised- and Q-learning for the control of dynamical systems subject to unknown disturbances. By using the Inverse Optimization framework and in-hindsight information we can derive a causal parametric optimization policy that approximates a non-causal MPC expert. Furthermore, we propose a new...

Dankovic, Milan (author)
Inverse Learning is implemented in order to learn a control/decision policy (in the integer space) from an Expert Agent. The Learner Agent assumes that the Expert is acting minimizing an unknown cost function and tries to approximate it, through its own parametrized version of it. Learning can be performed in two different ways: offline ...

Borghi, Alessandro (author)
The ability to compute models that correctly predict the trajectories of a nonlinear system can become a significant challenge in systems and control. The introduction of Koopman operator theory helped to deal with this challenge. The Koopman operator is a composition operator that globally describes a nonlinear system in an infinite-dimensional...

Overdevest, Joram (author)
This thesis contains two contributions to the stabilization of visually guided robotic lampreys: the head stabilization method and the head-led target tracking design. Both approach the problem that camera inputs, attached to the head segment, are disturbed due to the participation of the head in the locomotion gait of the robot. Head...

Boot, Bas (author)
For this thesis we have compared communication times of different control schemes on a wireless control network for a water irrigation system. Therefore a control application which can run different protocols was created. We have shown that a significant reduction of communication time can be achieved by using event-triggered control (ETC), and...

Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) is one of the promising non-invasive technology that helps in the detection of neurodegenerative and neurological disorders, localisation of the different areas of the brain and understanding the connectivity between them. It involves the acquisition of time series of MR images while...

Over the last years advantages in autonomous agent systems and technology have created many potential applications for large numbers of collaborating robots in the field of surveillance, mapping, mining, farming and (space) exploration. The underlying principle that enables robots to collectively solve complex tasks is that of minimal...

Persistent surveillance is the act of covering an environment persistently, as fast as possible. By exploiting the intelligence of the swarm, it is possible to create a swarm robotic persistent surveillance method that can deal with unknown dynamic environments without the need for complex computations or excessive storage. Using stigmergy,...

Hoorneman, Jochem (author)
The topic of automated driving is receiving increasing attention from the scientific community and automotive industry. A key task for an autonomous vehicle is the recognition of drivable area and, in an extension of this, detecting the road boundaries. State-of-the-art techniques often use camera and/or LIDAR sensors to perform this task....

The rising number of electricity consumers poses a challenge to power generators and grid operators in maintaining a balanced grid. Peak shaving is a technique that consists of shifting electricity consumption from hours of high demand to times of low demand, and has been gaining popularity in recent years. It allows to reduce peak loads which...

Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) can be used in the exploration and mapping of unknown environments. To cooperate autonomously, each agent of the MAS must know its own location precisely within such an environment. Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) techniques are commonly used when the Global Positioning System (GPS) is unavailable or does...
