Streaming video completion is the practice that aims to fill in missing or corrupted pixels in a video stream by using past uncorrupted data. A method to tackle this problem is recently introduced called a Tensor Networked Kalman Filter (TNKF). It shows promising results in terms of performance compared to state-of-the-art methods for high...

This thesis applies the Gauss-Newton optimizer to estimate the parameter values of the Volterra-PARAFAC model by minimizing a nonlinear least square cost (NLS) function given the input and output measurements of the MISO Volterra system.

Speed trajectories considerably influence vehicular fuel consumption, particularly on signalized roads. To minimize fuel consumption, sharp acceleration/deceleration maneuvers and idling events at signalized intersections should be prevented. By taking advantage of the technological developments in infrastructure-to-vehicle communication, the...

Sorting systems form an example of event driven systems. These types of systems are referred to as discrete event systems (DES), and they consist of jobs that need to be performed at available resources. In an autonomous sorting system, jobs consist of robots receiving and delivering parcels at the correct locations. With scheduling, optimal...

Railway networks are subjected to disruptions on a daily basis, which may make the timetable unimplementable, which in its turn may significantly influence passenger satisfaction. In practice, train dispatchers are responsible for mitigating the influence of disruptions, such as delays of trains, train cancellations, and overcrowdedness at...

Wind energy plays an essential role in the transition to a sustainable future and wind turbines allow us to utilize it. Wind turbines are often installed in close proximity to make the best use of the given space and to save costs. This also has the disadvantage that the turbines influence each other due to wakes. This is where wind farm control...

The development of offshore wind technology has progressed rapidly since the first offshore wind farm came to birth in 1991. During the last three decades, offshore wind has become an economically attractive option of renewable energy source for many countries to fulfill their commitment to combat the climate crisis. However, an open challenge...

This thesis considers the problem of nonlinear output regulation in a Koopman operator framework. The goal of output regulation is to asymptotically track a reference and/or simultaneously reject a disturbance signal, both generated by some external autonomous system called the exosystem. The nonlinear output regulation problem is solvable if...

Energy demand for heating and cooling makes up 73\% of total energy use of buildings [2]. This figure is expected to increase over the coming decades, as demand for cooling energy may rise in the Netherlands due to climate change. The heating and cooling of buildings are at relatively low temperature compared to the industry and thus allowing...

Achieving human-like action planning requires profound reasoning and context-awareness capabilities. It is especially true for autonomous robotic mobile manipulation in dynamic environments. In the case of component failure, the autonomous robotic system requires reliable adaptation capabilities combined with a consistent understanding of the...

Although competition is a dynamic phenomenon, currently used competition models do not take price dynamics into account, and some models are not even quantitative. This poses a problem for regulators or hedge funds and M&A departments who rely on these models to either quantify price and demand movements, or to determine the cost of...

Spacecraft navigation and control is difficult in deep space operations. Especially around asteroids, the irregular gravity field increases the difficulty of estimating the spacecraft trajectory. Autonomous navigation can increase the safety and accuracy for orbit proximity operations. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for continuous...

This thesis is devoted to the class of Max-Plus Linear Parameter Varying (MP-LPV) systems. Recently, this class is introduced as an extension of the class of Max-Plus-Linear (MPL) systems in the field of max-plus algebra. The MPL framework is useful when modeling Discrete Event Systems (DES). Describing DES in conventional algebra results in...

The goal in this thesis is to make a prediction on the total processing time for logistical systems to complete their tasks. For simple systems that can be described using a regular max plus state space model this is done by calculating the systems eigenvalue and multiplying that by the number of iterations required. But, for more complex...

Switching max-plus linear (SMPL) systems written in max-plus algebra form a robust framework to model discrete-event systems governed by synchronisation whose behaviour may switch over time. Their evolution is described by a max-plus linear state-space representation that may change by switching modes. In their typical form, switching may depend...

Currently, encryption is part of daily life, from commercial to industrial applications. Secure, long-distance communication is vital to the safe and reliable operation of industrial feedback control. Utilising public networks as a medium is often cost-effective at the risk of a security breach. Current industrial feedback control systems...

The autonomy of mobile robots has been greatly improved in recent decades. For these robots, the field of search and rescue is of particular interest. This thesis introduces a new method to let a mobile robot (Spot by Boston Dynamics) explore and search for victims in unknown environments. Existing methods include coverage, which aims to fully...

The study of human motion consists of the analysis of kinematics, dealing with joint angles, velocities and accelerations, and kinetics, which deals with joint torques and interaction forces. Traditionally, kinematics and kinetics are estimated from optical marker data and sometimes measured interaction forces. Inertial measurement units (IMUs)...

The purpose of Supply Chain Management (SCM) is to maximize and stabilize the flow of goods through a supply chain. Disruptions to this flow, such as the Bullwhip Effect (BWE), have become increasingly severe and dynamic, challenging current methods for counteracting these disruptions. This thesis develops a systems and control framework for...

Ultrafast ultrasound localization microscopy (ULM) is a super-resolved vascular imaging method that provides a 10-fold improvement in resolution compared to ultrafast ultrasound Doppler imaging. Because typical ULM acquisitions accumulate large numbers of synthetic microbubble (MB) tracks over hundreds of cardiac cycles, transient hemodynamic...
