The energy transition towards carbon neutrality requires a rapid electrification of all energy sectors by 2050. In the EU-27, the REPowerEU strategy, initiated in March 2022, is pursuing this target even more ambitiously. However, in order to achieve the aforementioned goals, the increasing demand for green hydrogen will...

Due to the continuously increasing volume of road freight transportation, there is a need to aid or automate truck-trailer driving. Truck docking, the process of parking a truck-trailer combination at a loading dock, is one of the most difficult manoeuvres for professional drivers. In this work, we propose a Model Predictive Control (MPC)-based...

With a growing number of citizens and tourists, the scarce public space, roads, and public transport in Amsterdam are experiencing rising pressure. Instead of utilizing the conventional transportation routes, Autonomous Surface Vessels (ASVs) could transport goods and people via the 165 canals present in Amsterdam. <br/>However, urban canals are...

Online video completion aims to complete corrupted frames of a video in an online fashion. Consider a surveillance camera that suddenly outputs corrupted data, where up to 95% of the pixels per frame are corrupted. Real time video completion and correction is often desirable in such scenarios. Therefore, this thesis improves the Tensor-Networked...

In this thesis we consider multiple Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) navigating a common workspace to fulfill intralogistics tasks, typically formulated as the Multi-Agent Path Finding (MAPF) problem. To keep plan execution deadlock-free, one approach is to construct an Action Dependency Graph (ADG) which encodes the ordering of AGVs as they...

The increased implementation of digitalisation all over the world has led to an exponential growth of available data across various industries. Consequently, there is a large growth of Machine Learning (ML) techniques being applied to process data. Predictive maintenance is a digital strategy using condition-based monitoring techniques to track...

The Ampelmann system offers a safe and reliable solution for offshore access. As safety is a key factor, an extensive safety and warning management system is employed which accommodates for different fault types that may occur. Accommodation of sensor failure in the Ampelmann system is currently done through switching to a redundant component....

The demand from the automotive industry for thinner, stronger and more ductile steels led to development of the so called Advanced High Strength Steels (AHSS). These new steel grades are produced at one of the hot dip galvanizing lines, “Dompel Verzinklijn 3” (DVL3), at Tata Steel IJmuiden. The annealing furnace in DVL3 consists out of a number...
