Aleva, Thomas (author)Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of autonomous-vehicle-to-pedestrian (AV2P) communication through augmented reality (AR) interfaces on the road crossing behaviour of pedestrians, and research whether subjective results from a previous Cave Automatic Virtual Environment (CAVE) study replicated in a real world AR...master thesis 2023

van Dommele, Marieke (author)Percutaneous needle procedures (PNPs) are minimally invasive procedures that use imaging guidance to diagnose or treat medical conditions. In the treatment of liver cancer, PNPs are becoming increasingly used due to their shorter recovery times and lower complication rates. However, needle placement during PNPs can be challenging due to a lack...master thesis 2023

Surana, Iva (author)Naturalistic driving research with a focus on trucks has been gaining momentum in the past decade. With the advancement in sensor technology and access to big data, it becomes possible to understand driver behaviour at a more fundamental level. This can assist in mitigating the impact trucks have on the environment while enhancing safety....master thesis 2022

Grooten, Lisa (author)Introduction: Current heat measurement systems for retinal coagulation are insufficient to demonstrate the safety of intraocular diathermy instruments. Therefore, this paper aims to design and test a novel coagulation heat measurement system that attempts to infer direct retinal tissue temperature using contactless thermal measurements. Methods:...master thesis 2022

Peereboom, Joris (author)Objective: In this thesis, we explore whether augmented and diminished reality interfaces, which, respectively, add and remove information from the environment, improve a pedestrian's feeling of road crossing safety, and how this information should be conveyed to the pedestrian.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Background:...master thesis 2022

Glaser, Niels (author)Dry adhesives can reattach to surfaces due to the reversible bond made by Van der Waals forces. These adhesives can therefore be used as gripping surface that has a high frictional load capacity, independent of the grasping force. In many grippers, the adhesive surface is often pressed into contact with another surface (’substrate’) in an open...master thesis 2022

Lucas, Valentin (author)Retinal detachment occurs when liquid slips behind the retina and does not allow the latter to lay flat on the posterior region of the eye. It alters the vision of the patient, hence requiring surgery to be corrected. In some cases, retinal detachment can occur after the retina has been treated for other pathologies. <br/>Indeed, more than 20%...master thesis 2022

Elfferich, Rick (author)Fruit and vegetable production is increasing worldwide, and farmers currently face a tough challenge in finding enough agricultural workers. Automation of the labour-intensive task of crop harvesting could help fill in this gap between supply and demand. However, picking soft fruits is challenging, as they can be easily damaged if not carefully...master thesis 2022

Riemens, Boyd (author)Throughout history, different intraocular illumination methods for vitreoretinal surgery have been used and the most common limitations to the state-of-the-art intraocular illumination methods are the glare and reflections created by the illumination device and the relatively small illuminated area. A way to tackle these limitations could be by...master thesis 2022

Thirunavukkarasu Kumaaravelu, Lokkeshver (author)Vulnerable road users account for more than 50% of traffic fatalities, and among these, pedestrians are the most susceptible to fatalities due to their distraction and misperception of other road users. To mitigate their plight, systems that warn drivers and pedestrians in case of a possible collision have been developed. Among systems that...master thesis 2022

Sabu, Priya (author)Food-evoked emotions are essential for consumers’ food choice prediction and market success. These food-evoked emotions are predominantly measured by explicit self-reports. Yet in certain situations such as social desirability, explicit measures might not reflect one’s true emotional experience. The additional use of implicit measures can be...master thesis 2022

van den Boogaart, Luc (author)To avoid detection during a bloodmeal, a mosquito must minimize contact forces during attachment and detachment contact while maintaining sufficient grip to insert their proboscis and feed. Measuring contact mechanics of the mosquito is technically challenging due to the small length and force scales. Because of this, many aspects of blood...master thesis 2021

Niezen, Robin (author)Miniaturizing mechanical tessellations with rigid origami behavior is difficult since rigid origami can only be approached in real mechanical systems. Rigid-origami means that the fold-lines have zero stiffness, and the facets have infinite stiffnes. However, zero stiffness and infinite stiffness can physically not be obtained. To approach the...master thesis 2021

Jongerius, Camiel (author)The study of adhesion mechanisms in animals such as the gecko has helped mankind with the understanding and development of novel adhesives. The adhesion mechanism of the tree frog is not fully understood, it is a wet adhesion mechanism which works differently than the dry adhesion mechanisms of animals, such as the gecko, studied previously. The...master thesis 2021

aan het Rot, Steven (author)In the past two decades, robotic systems have been introduced to assist surgeons in improving the control of surgical instruments. To fully and safely utilize the potential of robotic precision, relative displacement and vibrations between the robotic system and the human tissue should be minimized. This study presents the design of an interface...master thesis 2021

Kooijman, Bram (author)Previous research showed that perceived risk is an important psychological determinant of road user behaviour and accident prevalence. However, little knowledge exists about how objective in-scene features affect a driver’s perceived risk in interactions with pedestrians. This crowdsourcing study tries to fill this research gap. A total of 1082...master thesis 2021

Copier, Rick (author)Objective: this paper aims to evaluate the adhesive and frictional properties of the keratinised epithelium on the adhesive pads of tree frogs. Modeling methods: two modeling methods have been developed. One of these methods involves the implementation of discrete fibres in a relatively compliant material matrix while the other method involves...master thesis 2021

Bloemberg, Jette (author)Standard treatment methods for prostate cancer often result in side-effects because of damage to the surrounding tissue. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guided focal laser ablation to treat prostate cancer reduces the risk of adverse effects by preserving noncancerous tissue. Prostate cancer diagnosis and focal laser ablation treatment both...master thesis 2021

Oversier, Rachel (author)<b>Introduction:</b> Carotid atherosclerosis is characterized by the build-up of the so-called plaque tissue in the wall of the carotid artery. The rupture of carotid plaques can lead to acute manifestations, including ischemic stroke and transient ischaemic attack (TIA). The mechanism responsible for rupture is not yet unravelled, complicating...master thesis 2020

Oudshoorn, Max (author)Various visual external human-machine interfaces (eHMIs) have been proposed that communicate the intent of automated vehicles (AVs) to vulnerable road users. However, there is no consensus on which eHMI concept is most suitable for intent communication. In nature, animals have evolved the ability to communicate intent via visual signals....master thesis 2020
