Mohammadkarimi, M. (author), Leus, G.J.T. (author), Rajan, R.T. (author)A new method for joint ranging and Phase Offset (PO) estimation of multiple drones/aircrafts is proposed in this paper. The proposed method employs the superimposed uncoordinated Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) packets broadcasted by drones/aircrafts for joint range and PO estimation. It jointly estimates range and PO prior...journal article 2024

Psychas, D.V. (author), Khodabandeh, A. (author), Teunissen, P.J.G. (author)PPP-RTK corrections, aiding GNSS users to achieve single-receiver integer ambiguity-resolved parameter solutions, are often estimated in a recursive manner by a provider. Such recursive, multi-epoch, estimation of the corrections relies on a set of S-basis parameters that are chosen by the provider so as to make the underlying measurement...journal article 2024

Segovia Castillo, P. (author), Puig, Vicenc (author), Duviella, Eric (author)This article presents the design of a control strategy for the Calais canal, a navigation canal located in a lowland area in northern France that is affected by tides. Moreover, the available actuators are discrete-valued and the hierarchy of operational objectives is time-varying. All these circumstances render water level regulation of the...journal article 2024

(author), Kober, J. (author)Minimally Invasive Procedures (MIPs) emerged as an alternative to more invasive surgical approaches, offering patient benefits such as smaller incisions, less pain, and shorter hospital stay. In one class of MIPs, where natural body lumens or small incisions are used to access deeper anatomical locations, Flexible Surgical and Interventional...review 2024

Turan, E. (author), Speretta, S. (author), Gill, E.K.A. (author)In recent years, there has been a growing interest in lunar missions, particularly with the growing role of small satellites facilitated by piggyback launch opportunities. Typically, ground-based radiometric tracking is the workhorse to establish the necessary navigation solution in these missions, however, this could be expensive, while small...conference paper 2023

Mosses, P.D. (author)Spoofax is a language workbench. A Spoofax language specification generally includes name resolution: the analysis of bindings between definitions and references. When browsing code in the specified language using Spoofax, the bindings appear as hyperlinks, supporting precise name-based code navigation. However, Spoofax cannot be used for...conference paper 2023

Adams, S.J.L. (author), Jarne Ornia, D. (author), Mazo, M. (author)We present a biologically inspired design for swarm foraging based on ant’s pheromone deployment, where the swarm is assumed to have very restricted capabilities. The robots do not require global or relative position measurements and the swarm is fully decentralized and needs no infrastructure in place. Additionally, the system only requires...journal article 2023
