Aerial cinematography has seen an increased use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) due to technological advancements and commercialisation in recent years. The operation of such a robot can be complex and requires a dedicated person to control it. Automation of the cinematography allows for the use of multiple robots, which further increases the...

In the thesis, the challenge of precisely developing a data-driven Linear Time Invariant MIMO Reticle Heating Induced Deformation Prediction (RHIDP) model for ASML's DUV systems is presented. The model is developed for two inputs, namely airflow temperature and dose for full field exposures. A reduced order data-driven based approach for...

This thesis covers the implementation of Event-Triggering Control (ETC) on Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC). CACC has the potential to increase road capacity, by having safe vehicle following with small intervehicle distance (less than 1 second), to increase traffic flow by eliminating shockwave effects, such that string-stable...

The Active Inference framework is a neuroscience theory based on the Free Energy Principle by Karl Friston that has gained considerable prominence as a general theory to explain action and perception. Despite its promising future and use in different fields, its applicability for robot control has been barely investigated in the literature so...

In the noiseless case, the identification of a grey-box model can be posed as a feasibility problem, i.e. determining if existent - and if so - finding a parameter vector such that the parametric model equals the actual model (or its associated input-output data). Being that in this thesis we are interested in continuous-time grey-box...

Over the past years, the automotive industry has seen a constantly increasing level of automation of automotive vehicles. This increasing level of automation contributes to an increasing safety in traffic and a reduction of traffic congestions due tio faster response times and higher reliability, with respect to the human driver. The automation...

Adaptive control theory and the aerospace industry share a long and bountiful history which has led to innovative developments within modern control theory as well as the boldest industry promises for future generations of aircraft. Unfortunately, as we venture into the realm of adaptive control, commonly used robustness metrics, such as the...

The goal of this thesis is to present a framework which can be used to optimize the observer and controller performance by placement of sensors and actuators on a continuous domain. The framework provides choices of model structure, cost functions and optimization methods to perform the placement. Systems which would be suitable for the use of...

Proton therapy is an increasingly popular form of radiotherapy that uses high energy protons for the treatment of cancer. It results in a lower integral dose than the classical photon radiotherapy. This makes it suitable for the treatment of tumors close to critical organs such as in the head and neck. To minimize alignment errors the head and...

A challenging task in synchronization of multi-agent systems is steering the network towards a coherent solution when the dynamics of the constituent systems are heterogeneous and residing in a possibly large uncertainty set. In this situation, synchronization can be achieved via adaptive protocols (with adaptive feedback gains, or adaptive...

The startup company Fleet Cleaner has developed a mobile robot, specialized in the hull cleaning of large cargo vessels. Navigation and localization of this robot is currently performed manually. This is a difficult process that is greatly complicated during operation. This is mainly due to the availability of relative positioning sensors only,...

Manufacturing processes often run on a schedule, because each production step takes a certain amount of time, after which a component is transported to the next machine. Mobile robots can be used to automate transportation of components between production steps. To do so, a task scheduler assigns transportation tasks to robots and a path planner...

When acquiring information using imaging techniques, one wants to achieve the best possible resolution in order to obtain valuable results. In the ideal scenario the size of the smallest resolved object features is limited by the wave properties of light, with a number of techniques developed to overcome this limit. In real life measurements the...

Knowledge on adversaries during military missions at sea heavily influences decision making, making identification of unknown vessels an important task. Identification of surrounding vessels based on visual data offers an alternative to AIS information (Automatic Identification System), the current standard in vessel identification, which can be...

An often preferred method to control a multi-agent system is by a network-decentralised controller. Network-decentralised means that each agent only has knowledge about its own state and the state of its neighbouring agents. In this thesis the multi-agent system consists of holonomic robots moving in a 2-dimensional configuration space. Each...

Nowadays renewable energy sources (RES) are growing at a rapid pace, particularly the wind energy. The high amount of wind power penetration into the power grids poses a major challenge to Transmission System Operators (TSO) in terms of the operational management, as wind power is highly uncertain. The highly uncertain nature of the wind power...

With the emergence of many modern automated systems around us that rely heavily on the private data collected from individuals, the problem of privacy-preserving data analysis is now gaining a significant attention in the field of systems and control. In this thesis, we investigate the privacy concerns of these systems arising in the process of...

Industrial robots can be found in automotive, food, chemical, and electronics industries. These robots are often caged and are secluded from human beings. A recent trend in a subclass of industrial robots named collaborative robots allows the humans to interact with the robots safely. The word “safety” mentioned above is of supreme importance....

This MSc. thesis explores the design and implementation of a motion planner for non-holonomic autonomous vehicles in parking spaces. The planner must avoid collisions with static obstacles, satisfy performance, comfort and safety constraints for the motion, satisfy the non-holonomic constraints of the vehicle model, consider the dynamics of the...
