Breysens, G. (author)This thesis investigates the potential of state-dependent sampling strategies (SDSS) for the control of heavy-haul trains. Event-triggered control (ETC) is a control approach in which data is only sent when some state-dependent condition, the triggering condition, is satisfied. In this way, the number of communications required to stabilise a...master thesis 2023

Smit, Henk (author)Event-Triggered Control (ETC) is a control method where the controller is only updated when necessary. The control inputs are kept fixed until a state-dependent event triggers their re-computation. The triggering condition is designed to guarantee the stability and desired performance of the control system. This prevents the excessive use of...master thesis 2023

van der Lely, Lars (author)Over nine billion people will have to be fed fresh and healthy food in 2050 according to United Nations. This puts pressure on the horticulture sector, responsible for a large portion of the world’s food production. The literature has shown that automatic optimal control algorithms are able to make better use of resources and can even outperform...master thesis 2022

Kerssemakers, Tom (author)With over 75,000 attributed deaths in 2020, opioid overdose is now the leading cause of death amongst Americans under the age of 50. With record-breaking increases in fatalities for the past 10 years, fentanyl in particular has many experts worried about the future of the opioid epidemic. To reverse opioid overdose there exists a drug called...master thesis 2022

Sweering, Tim (author)In this thesis we investigate the possibilities for applying Koopman methods for reachability analysis. Reachability analysis is a verification process used to determine that a dynamical system starting in an initial set X0 cannot reach a certain set of dangerous states D within a time interval [0,T]. Koopman methods seem promising, because they...master thesis 2021

van der Zijden, Tycho van der Zijden (author)In networked control systems (NCS), the components of the control system communicate over a network, which poses challenges to the control synthesis procedure. Signal sampling is one of those challenges. A typical approach is to sample the signal periodically, but this can be inefficient. Event-triggered control (ETC) is a more efficient way to...student report 2021

van Straalen, Ivo (author)In recent years, Networked Control Systems (NCS) have become more popular, partly because of the increasing accessibility. In NCS, multiple plants and controllers are connected over a wired or wireless shared network, possibly having significant spatial separation. A major issue that arises is network congestion: If too many control loops are...master thesis 2021

Crompvoets, JPA (author)Over the past decade, a new concept for the power grid called the smart grid emerged, to enable two way energy transport and communication. With this new smart grid architecture many opportunities for control methods arise. While this can improve the efficiency of the power grid, all these methods require communication, which is a limited...master thesis 2021

van Wilsum, Max (author)Based on sparsity maximization we propose a controller for Multiple Daily Injections (MDI)therapy for Type 1 Diabetes melitus (T1DM) individuals. Based on convex relaxations onthe sparsity maximization problems and by implementing personalised linear models of pa-tient we formulate a model predictive controller to determine insulin boluses. By...master thesis 2021

Lanka, Indeevar Shyam (author)Vehicles are becoming increasingly complex and the resource-demanding due to the developments aimed at driving autonomy. Viewing an automobile as a cyber-physical system (CPS), this work applies the advances of controls applied to CPS for improving resource-consumption. One such idea is that of event-based control. Theoretical developments in...master thesis 2021

Klein Schiphorst, Jonathan (author)Stability, safety and optimality are often sought-after properties in the field of controller synthesis. In the last century, linear control theory has matured to a level where scalable algorithms are widely available that are able to synthesize controllers with stability and optimality guarantee. However, the synthesis of safe controllers...master thesis 2021

Samant, Aniket Ashwin (author)Modern times have seen an increasing use of networked control systems, in which plants and controllers may not necessarily have a direct link but instead be connected through a network, thereby closing control loops over multiple nodes.<br/><br/>The system may also be spread out spatially over a large area, and thus the associated network delays...master thesis 2020

Zwart, Joost (author)System identification for switched linear systems from input output data has received substantial attention in recent years. There is a growing interest for techniques that pose the identification problem as a sparse optimisation problem. At the same time a vast amount of research is dedicated to improving SAT solvers which as a result become...master thesis 2019

Rueda Arjona, Antonio (author)Embedded control systems are processor-based systems that need to run an application for an extended amount of time, such as months or years. Typically, they implement a realtime function to control a system. Embedded systems are implemented using hardware and software to perform an specific task. This is why they can be optimized to reduce its...master thesis 2019

van Lookeren Campagne, Gijs (author)In recent years, research in the field of autonomous driving has been subject to a significant increase in interest. Along with the advances in automation and electrification, cars are slowly transitioning to computers on wheels. The ever-increasing processing power in vehicles gives rise to the implementation of advanced control strategies. The...master thesis 2019

Durieux, Bram (author)The extraordinary capability of swarming ant species in route finding and foraging efficiency through trail trail development has been studied for many years. Scientists have been able to capture the behavior of individual ants in control algorithms and used the resulting artificial swarm of ants to solve difficult problems. These problems...master thesis 2019

Bosma, Stijn (author)A repetitive motion system supporting nano meter precision is positioned at high accelerations, which produces a force that disturbs the demanded accuracy requirements. Iterative learning control is used to learn optimal feedforward control signals for the attenuation this disturbance force. The iterative method comes with a limitation, as it...master thesis 2019

de Vries, Maarten (author)Pose estimation through fusion of GNSS with secondary sensors has long been an established field. With the developments surrounding autonomous navigation over the past decade this topic has gained extra importance. In the current literature GNSS based pose and localisation is often improved through fusion with either a IMU}or VS with the goal of...master thesis 2019

Aarnts, Thomas (author)The rise of vehicle usage causes roads to reach capacity limits. When capacity is reached, traffic jams and accidents are more likely to occur. By raising the efficiency of traffic, the capacity of roads can benefit without the need to expand infrastructure. Automating longitudinal controls of vehicles and creating vehicle platoons show...master thesis 2019
