Sunil, Emmanuel (author)This research investigates a neuromuscular analysis based tuning algorithm for haptic cues that has been hypothesized to simultaneously improve safety and workload when compared to heuristic tuning, applied to a haptic collision avoidance system for unmanned aircraft teleoperation. This novel tuning method considers the combined stiffness of the...master thesis 2014

Vlenterie, Wilco (author)In the near future many tasks could be performed by swarms of flying robots. To successfully implement multiple of these swarms in the same airspace they will have to be decentralised, autonomously cope with high densities and even resolve conflicting objectives of other swarms, while remaining controllable by operators through high-level...master thesis 2017

Heil, Tobias (author)The reconstruction of dense depth maps is of great value to resource-constrained Mirco Air Vehicles (MAVs), in the pursuit of achieving autonomous flight with a high situational awareness. Most MAVs implement sensing methods which provide a sparse depth map, limiting their capabilities significantly. This article introduces two novel methods to...master thesis 2017

Gruppelaar, Virgílio (author)Reducing conflicts between drivers and assistance systems has become an important issue in recent times, resulting in a need for a better understanding of how humans drive. Current models of driver speed choice on curved roads do not model accelerator and brake pedal deflections, and consequently do not account for the fact that deceleration...master thesis 2017

Bhowal, Abhranil (author)A Reinforcement Learning (RL) agent learns about its environment through exploration. For most physical applications such as search and rescue UAVs, this exploration must take place with safety in mind. Unregulated exploration, especially at the beginning of a run, will lead to fatal situations such as crashes. One approach to mitigating these...master thesis 2017

Matamoros Cid, Ismael (author)Conventional linear control allocation (LCA) methods fail to provide satisfactory performance in flight control systems (FCS) for aircraft with highly nonlinear and coupled control effector suites, especially for tailless aircraft with strong interactions between control effectors. This thesis implements an incremental nonlinear control...master thesis 2017

van Zon, Nout (author)Industry is proposing touch-based solutions to modernize the flight management system, a necessary step to cope with increasing demands on lateral navigation as airspace congestion grows. However, research evaluating touchscreen effectiveness for navigation tasks on the flight deck is lacking. The SIMONA Research Simulator was used, with 12...master thesis 2017

Mobertz, Xander (author)Implementation of touchscreen technology on the flight deck has already been announced by multiple aircraft manufacturers. However, a number of unsolved challenges still stand in the way of large scale implementation. One of these challenges comes from using touchscreens as input device in a highly dynamic and turbulent environment. Effects from...master thesis 2017

Tomás Cardoso Rézio Martins, Diogo (author)We study how autonomous robots can better evaluate distances by fusing depth estimates from both stereo vision and a convolutional neural network (CNN) that processes a single still image. The main contribution is a novel fusion method that preserves high confidence stereo estimates, while leveraging the CNN estimates in the low-confidence...master thesis 2017

Stolk, Rob (author)The Innovative Control Effector model is a tailless delta-wing aircraft concept equipped with 11 control surfaces with overlapping functionality and two-directional thrust vectoring. The high level of redundancy makes it an interesting object for research on mission-specific control allocation. A (spline-based) incremental control allocation...master thesis 2017

Balasooriyan, Suthes (author)Currently, Air Traffic Control is responsible for the separation of air traffic in our limited airspace. To facilitate the continuing growth of air traffic, an ambitious plan is to give the responsibility of the separation task to the pilots of the aircraft. The behavior of existing conflict resolution methods within this decentralized approach...master thesis 2017

Wang, Siying (author)UAVs(Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) have gained popularity in various fields, and many applications require the drones to perform tasks in indoor environments. One major challenge in UAV indoor guidance is the absence of accurate GPS(Global Positioning System)<br/>signals. In this work, a novel guidance method is investigated which uses a library of...master thesis 2017

Leest, Steven (author)Robotic behavior policies learned in simulation suffer from a performance degradation once transferred to a real-world robotic platform. This performance degradation originates from discrepancies between the real-world and simulation environment, referred to as the reality gap. To cross the reality gap, this papers presents a simple...master thesis 2017

Þórđarson, Olafur (author)Decentralized airspace concepts have been proposed to increase the capacity of airspace. Previous research has showed that decentralized airspace concepts show great improvements in capacity, such as the Layers concept, where height rules are implemented, and unstructured airspace, where there are no procedural constraints. One aspect that...master thesis 2018

Tegginamani Shiva Kumar, Siddarth (author)The Air Traffic Management research community expects that the responsibility of maintaining a minimum safe separation distance between aircraft will move from the groundbased Air Traffic Control, a centralized system, towards the flight deck, a decentralized system. Previous research on the decentralized, also known as distributed Air Traffic...master thesis 2018

Klapwijk, Jeffrey (author)Continuous Climb Operations aim at improving the efficiency of a flight's climb phase by reducing the number of level-offs. The associated fuel-benefits help airlines and airports to comply with future emission demands, rising fuel prices and modernizing airspace requirements. Previously, most studies in this field only considered the effect of...master thesis 2018
