Bontan, Luc (author)Robots are increasingly deployed in various locations to automate tasks, including in barns. However, in barns cows can obstruct the sensors such as LiDAR or camera, leading to a lack of environmental information. As a result, the robot’s localization system only relies on odometry at those moments, introducing additional uncertainty to the...master thesis 2023

Zikidou, Zoi (author)Climate change is adding more and more pressure to the water systems. The area which is protected by the storm surge barrier of Ramspol have high probability of flooding for climate projections in 2050 and 2100. <br/>Nowadays, the development of the technology is providing with numerous tools and analytical models for the engineers. However, in...master thesis 2023

Tan, Martin (author)In the field of Systems and Control, optimal control problem-solving for complex systems is a core task. The development of accurate mathematical models to represent these systems’ dynamics is often difficult. This complexity comes from potential uncertainties, complex non-linearities, or unknown factors that might affect the system. Because of...master thesis 2023

Koshy Cherian, Jeswin (author)Drifting, a specialized form of sideslip control, involves intentionally inducing and maintaining a state of oversteer for lateral sliding of the vehicle. While previous research has primarily focused on autonomous drift control, the integration of the driver in the control loop remains largely unexplored. This thesis aims to explore how a...master thesis 2023

Varga, Roland (author)Many recent robot learning problems, real and simulated, were addressed using deep reinforcement learning. The developed policies can deal with high-dimensional, continuous state and action spaces, and can also incorporate machine-generated or human demonstration data. A great number of them depend on state-action value estimates, especially the...master thesis 2023

Kemmeren, Anne (author)This thesis proposes a novel algorithm, Wi-Closure, to improve computational efficiency and robustness of map matching in multi-robot SLAM. Current state-of-the-art techniques connect maps with inter-robot loop closures, that are usually found through place recognition. Wi-Closure decreases the computational overhead of these approaches by...master thesis 2022

Le Grand, Oscar (author)Sea level rise will increase the risk of flooding in coastal areas. This poses a risk to the coastal protection as well as rivers and lakes close to the coast. Solutions are needed to cope with this threat. The past decade, nature based solutions have gained significant interest. One of these solutions could be sandy foreshores. Due to the use...master thesis 2022

Lambregts, Dorien (author)The production and consumption of electricity need to be balanced at all times. Due to the ever-growing shift towards renewable energy generation, this poses an increasingly difficult challenge. Currently, supply is regulated to maintain balance. However, there is potential to improve reliability and save costs by shifting the balancing to the...master thesis 2022

Dekker, Bo (author)To enable communication for patients who have lost the ability to speak due to severe neuromuscular diseases, covert speech based brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) might be used. These system use neural signals arising from covert speech and translate them into text or synthesised speech. Covert speech is imagining to speak without moving any of...master thesis 2022

Tack, Nynke (author)Weather generators (WGs) based on temporal resampling algorithms are not able to generate new extremes with the same or a higher temporal resolution as the historical data series of the thus far <br/>observed precipitation. This is problematic for catchments with a time of concentration shorter than the resolution of the used data and conflicts...master thesis 2022

de Bruin, Pim (author)To improve Active Vibration control methods like Independent Modal Space Control (IMSC), an estimate of the modal contribution of vibrational eigenmodes of compliant structures is required. In this work, three Recursive Bayesian input and state estimation algorithms previously introduced in civil engineering are evaluated for use on on high-tech...master thesis 2022

de Haan, Sander (author)Deterministic predictions of wave induced ship motion are increasingly often used to enlarge the oper- ational envelope of ships that perform complex operations at open sea. The large amount of complex operations performed nowadays, motivates the relevance of motion predictions. The company Next Ocean provides these forecasts, based on linear...master thesis 2022

Srivastava, Akshat (author)Single Molecule Localization Microscopy (SMLM) has enabled researchers to breakthrough the diffraction limit and obtain nanometer resolution images of macromolecular structures. But due to the time involved in obtaining ample data for proper image, the technique is venerable to many problem including fluctuations due to thermal gradients from...master thesis 2022

van Bavel, Henri (author)In order to improve the autonomy of construction robots, a Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) solution is needed that localizes the robot using solely on-board sensing with sub-5 mm accuracy. As pointed out by the results of the Hilti SLAM Challenge, the state-of-the-art in SLAM currently does not offer a solution that comes close to...master thesis 2022

den Boer, Dirk (author)Accurate vehicle localization is considered to be a key element in future automated driving systems. A network of multiple sensors is employed to deliver information for this localization process. Loosely coupled integration of global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) and inertial navigation systems (INS) data is a common sensor-fusion method...master thesis 2022

Veldhuis, Erik (author)This research proposes a new differentiator for estimating higher order derivatives of an input signal. The main reason why higher order derivatives are necessary is that Active Inference makes use of generalized coordinates. This means that it keeps internally track of higher order temporal derivatives of states, inputs and measurements. The...master thesis 2021

Brand, Casper (author)The Kampereiland is an island located at the south eastern part of the IJsselmeer in the middle of the Netherlands. This island serves a purpose to lower water levels in the IJssel- and Vechtdelta during high water, by being inundated. This inundation is meant to result in lower water levels in the IJssel near Kampen. However, the flooding of...master thesis 2021
