Kriekaard, Femke (author)A majority of people with dementia live at home. Most people living alone experience problems with wayfinding due to symptoms of their disease, like memory impairment, spatial disorientation, and loss of planning abilities. These problems can cause them to reduce their outside travel range or even stop going on independent outdoor visits...master thesis 2023

van der Drift, Victor (author)This thesis presents a comprehensive approach to integrating a trajectory planner and follower for autonomous vehicles (AVs) using model predictive contouring control (MPCC). The planner generates collision-free trajectories with a kinematic bicycle model, while the follower tracks them using a dynamic bicycle model with a smaller integration...master thesis 2023

Salas Lasala, María (author)The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) is a global array of telescopes that employs Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) techniques to image the event horizon of black holes. To overcome the limitations of ground-based telescopes, this thesis explores the mission concept involving a two-satellite constellation of space-borne telescopes deployed...master thesis 2023

Groote, Gijs (author)In the field of robotics, consider the following problem scenario: In a robot environment, a simple robot must push objects to reference places while figuring out which objects can be pushed, what the best manipulation strategy is, or which objects are static and cannot be pushed. The problem scenario can be decomposed into three research topics...master thesis 2023

Vogels, Marlein (author)Purpose: In percutaneous renal ablation (PRA), reaching the target accurately is challenging due to target motion and limited real-time visualization of the target, requiring a suitable navigation strategy. In the context of this thesis research, skin markers are used in combination with an the Azurion C-arm system (Philips Healthcare, Best, The...master thesis 2023

Rijsdijk, Joris (author)Virtual Reality allows for the ultimate immersion in environments not naturally encountered. Still, hyperbolic environments are extremely difficult to get used to. This paper explores whether immersion in virtual hyperbolic environments can be enhanced by introducing a procedurally generated world. We propose a Wave Function Collapse (WFC)...bachelor thesis 2023

Snellenberg, Ravi (author)It is possible to use a different representation of space in a Virtual Reality (VR) game, instead of using the euclidean representation we are used to. The reason why that is interesting is that it opens up the possibility of traversing infinitely far in the virtual space while being confined to a relatively limited space in the real world. But...bachelor thesis 2023

van Veen, Joost (author), Goudzwaard, Yannick (author)The goal of this thesis is to develop a ROS package that facilitates the control and navigation of a Duckiebot robot. With the rise of robot swarms the need for autonomous charging system for robots is increasing. An implementation for decentralised autonomous behaviour for a Duckiebot for a wireless charging system in a Duckietown environment...bachelor thesis 2023

den Ridder, Luc (author)Although deep reinforcement learning (DRL) is a highly promising approach to learning robotic vision-based control, it is plagued by long training times. This report introduces a DRL setup that relies on self-supervised learning for extracting depth information valuable for navigation. Specifically, a literature study is conducted to investigate...master thesis 2023

Elffers, Peter (author)This paper investigates the performance of an autonomous navigation system to navigate a spacecraft in the proximity of a binary asteroid system using optical and laser ranging measurements. The knowledge about the binary asteroid is limited to its orbital parameters and ellipsoid shape models. The accelerometer bias random walk is included in...master thesis 2023

van der Jagt, Lotte (author)Imagine going to a bar to meet your friends. When you arrive you try to spot them in a room filled with people, but your view is blurred which disables you from recognizing your friends. How would this make you feel? People that are blind or have low vision (PBLV) are all around us and can be found in any context of life. Just like sighted...master thesis 2023

Gelling, Lars (author)The unique six-legged swarming rover Lunar Zebro is designed and produced by students from the Delft University of Technology. The objective of the rover is to accomplish an autonomous mission on the Lunar surface by 2024. This thesis evaluates a path planning algorithm that is designed for autonomous navigation in the Lunar environment. The...master thesis 2023

Benmahdjoub, Mohamed (author), Thabit, Abdullah (author), Van Veelen, Marie Lise C. (author), Niessen, W.J. (author), Wolvius, Eppo B. (author), Van Walsum, Theo (author)Augmented reality (AR) has shown potential in computer-aided surgery. It allows for the visualization of hidden anatomical structures as well as assists in navigating and locating surgical instruments at the surgical site. Various modalities (devices and/or visualizations) have been used in the literature, but few studies investigated the...journal article 2023

Mosses, P.D. (author)Software language design and implementation often involve specifications written in various esoteric meta-languages. Language workbenches generally include support for precise name-based navigation when browsing language specifications <i>locally</i>, but such support is lacking when browsing the same specifications <i>online</i> in code...conference paper 2023

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
