In household and retail store environments, humans efficiently identify grasp regions of an object to perform everyday tasks. To enable robots to understand the requirements of a task and the properties of an object, a novel grasp framework, called the Shape Primitive and Reasoning Grasping Engine (SPaRGE), is proposed in this thesis. SPaRGE...

The problem of assisting users in comprehending the robotic scenario information in a retail setting has been studied. To design the system, an integrated ontology composed of several IEEE standard ontologies and a labelled property graph (LPG)-based ontology modified from the Web Ontology Language (OWL)-based ontology was proposed to symbolize...

While defusing a bomb or performing a rescue mission with a teleoperated robot, grasping various objects is crucial. Despite being a routine activity, remote grasping is still challenging. It is difficult to apply an adequate grip force to avoid slippage and damage to an object. An additional challenge is controlling both motion and force at the...

Effectively controlling and exploiting the natural dynamics of Articulated Soft Robots for energy-efficient motions remains challenging. In literature, the problem is often split in two; in energy-efficient motion planning and structure-preserving control, where the focus is on one, and the other is largely disregarded. This work aims to unify...

Different paradigms can be used to evoke brainwaves. These brainwaves can be interpreted as commands that can be used to control different applications. These frameworks that interpret the brainwaves are called brain-computer interfaces. Steady-state visually evoked potentials is one of these paradigms that uses external stimuli flickering at...

An event-based camera enables capturing a video at a high temporal resolution, high dynamical range, reduced power consumption and minimal data bandwidth while the camera has minimal physical dimensions compared to a frame-based camera with the same vision properties. The limiting factor, however, of an event-based camera is the spatial...

This paper presents a novel approach to regional forecasting of SARS-Cov-2 infections one week ahead, which involves developing a municipality level COVID-19 dataset of the Netherlands and using a spatio-temporal graph neural network (GNN) to predict the number of infections. The developed model captures the spread of infectious diseases within...

This thesis presents the research to design a successful high-accuracy, sub-millimetric registration method for an autonomous robot equipped to drill bone for cochlear implant (CI) surgery. Its performance, and thus success, is measured in accuracy, workload, usability and trust. While state-of-the-art (STOTA) research lacks the inclusion of...

Learning from Demonstration (LfD) aims to learn versatile skills from human demonstrations. The field has been gaining popularity since it facilitates transferring knowledge to robots without requiring much expert knowledge. During task executions, the robot motion is usually influenced by constraints imposed by environments. In light of this,...

Deformable Object Manipulation (DOM) is an important field of research as it contributes to practical tasks such as cloth handling, cable routing, surgical operation etc. The sensing in DOM is now considered as one of the major challenges in robotics due to the complex dynamics and high degree of freedom of deformable objects. One challenge is...

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...

The aging of society, population growth and chronic under-investments in education of healthcare workers have all led to a major imbalance between the demand for healthcare and the supply of healthcare. Autonomous robots can be used to relieve overqualified healthcare workers of their repetitive transportation tasks, allowing them to spend more...

The design of a guide-path map is a well-known problem in various industries, such as automated guided vehicle (AGV) systems, road networks, and train track design. Nowadays, designing a path map is a manual, time-consuming, and expensive process. The solutions often turn out to be far from optimal. Several approaches are known to generate path...

Background: The procedure to fit a prosthetic socket to a patient, which can assure the patient’s comfort during activities of daily living, is labour intensive. Such a lengthy procedure could benefit from an automated and more efficient data-driven method capable of automatically tracking the relative movement between the patient’s tibia and...

An intracranial aneurysm is a bulge in the cerebral vasculature. The rupture of an aneurysm results in a brain bleed. As a consequence, most patients become severely handicapped or may even die. Preventive treatment with endovascular coiling is controversial due to the high risk of complications. These complications are partly caused by the...

Whilst the extraction of teeth (exodontia) remains one of the oldest and most performed surgeries on earth, very little is understood about the procedure itself. Especially in the area of the required movements, torques and forces to remove specific teeth and how these interact with existing tissue. This knowledge gap has been hypothesized to...

Naturalistic driving research with a focus on trucks has been gaining momentum in the past decade. With the advancement in sensor technology and access to big data, it becomes possible to understand driver behaviour at a more fundamental level. This can assist in mitigating the impact trucks have on the environment while enhancing safety....
