Mavrocordatos, Nicolas (author)Automation is playing an increasingly important role in today’s society and is revolutionising nearly all industries. In this thesis, the helicopter industry is considered. Helicopters are complex systems capable of Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL). Many companies and organisations are now looking to automate VTOL vehicles in order to break...master thesis 2020

van Furth, Ghiline (author)Combined chemo-radiation treatments are often used to enhance tumor cell kill, with respect to their separate treatments. Currently, chemo-radiation therapy treatments are prescribed as a separately optimized radiotherapy treatment with the addition of a generic chemotherapy regimen. The dosing of the combined therapies is mostly based on...master thesis 2020

Postma, Jeroen (author)Recent studies in game-theory provided ways to steer multi-agent games to their Nash equilibrium by means of a decentralized approach. However, these approaches have not considered the internal dynamics of the individual agents. This thesis work provides decentralized control methods to account for these internal dynamics whilst ensuring that...master thesis 2020

Nagda, Neel (author)Stringent control demands from the high-tech mechatronics industry have warranted the need to explore potentially advantageous non-linear controllers. Variable Fractional Order (VFO) calculus provides one such avenue to build non-linear PID-like controllers. VFO calculus is the generalization of integer order differentiation and integration,...master thesis 2019

Ledzian, Patrick (author)Decentralized control and estimation are both active research areas in the field of systems and control. A new approach to these topics utilizes graph theory to characterize inter-agent communication as a graph that, in this thesis, can have time-varying topology. This approach has been named "network-decentralized" and the use of network...master thesis 2019
