Crielaard, Bram (author), Bruin, Chiel (author), Aerts, Taico (author)WebLab is a system where students can write and test code using an online interface. Course coordinators can create assignments and exams, where they can define automated tests to verify that the student code meets requirements. As WebLab only offered support for programming languages which run on the Java Virtual Machine, it was limited to a...bachelor thesis 2017

Pollack, Tijmen (author)Reinforcement learning (RL) enables the autonomous formation of optimal, adaptive control laws for systems with complex, uncertain dynamics. This process generally requires a learning agent to directly interact with the system in an online fashion. However, if the system is safety-critical, such as an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), learning may...master thesis 2019

Novalia, W. (author)Introduction: The research was performed in two rural sites in Thailand and Laos. The Diarrhea and Dengue (DIADEN) group from the Norwegian University of Life Sciences facilitated the fieldwork. In the Thai site, rainwater was the main drinking water source, whereas in Lao site, unprotected dug well was predominant in dry season and was replaced...master thesis 2012

Valcalda, Alfredo (author)The expansion of the cruise market in the last decades and the significant increase in the size of cruise ships, led to a revision of the safety standards for passenger vessels which resulted in the introduction of the so-called "Safe Return to Port" regulatory framework (SRtP). These regulations strongly impacted every aspect of the life of...master thesis 2020

De Boeck, Jan (author)In the context of prosthetic devices, the absence of natural sensory feedback poses a significant challenge, leading to limited proprioceptive sensation and reduced control over artificial limbs. This study explores the potential of establishing a magnetic connection between prosthetic devices and muscles to enhance proprioceptive feedback and...master thesis 2023

Satis, Kanya (author)2.5D shape display is a recent idea in the market that emerged as a platform of interaction between a computer and human. 2.5D shape display is essentially a grid-like matrix consisting of actuators and pins moving up and down in vertical motion to create pseudo-3D images. Focused as a visual display in some applications and as a medium of input...master thesis 2020

Agarwal, Achin (author)The successful integration of autonomous vehicles (AVs) in human environments is highly dependent on their ability to navigate safely and timely through dense traffic conditions. Such conditions involve a diverse range of human behaviors, ranging from cooperative (willing to yield) to non-cooperative human drivers (unwilling to yield) that need...master thesis 2020

Kaffa, Lauren (author)Loss of control (LOC) is the primary cause of failure of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV). The safety of these systems can be largely improved by facilitating techniques to prevent LOC to occur, such as Flight Envelope Protection, enabling controllers to keep the system within the Safe Flight Envelope (SFE).<br/>The aim of this work is to examine...master thesis 2023

Monteiro Nunes, Tiago (author)Reinforcement Learning (RL) focuses on maximizing the returns (discounted rewards) throughout the episodes, one of the main challenges when using it is that it is inadequate for safety-critical tasks due to the possibility of transitioning into critical states while exploring. Safe Reinforcement Learning (SafeRL) is a subset of RL that focuses...master thesis 2019

Kemp, Charlotte (author)This graduation project consists of the design of the needle control device for MRI-guided interventions. It is an apparatus that grabs and steers a flexible needle remotely, so it could be used in an MRI while the physician controls the needle based on the scans. In this way, the physician has a clear sight of the position of the needle and the...master thesis 2020

Van Buul, P. (author)SAFe is a framework that applies both agile and lean practices for developing software. The current trend is that increasingly more organizations develop their software in a globally distributed setting. Although SAFe is being deployed in such a setting, SAFe was not originally developed for such a setting but for a co-located setting. Therefore...master thesis

Oosterlo, P. (author)In this thesis, a method was developed, with which the infragravity waves and morphological changes of a sandy foreshore are included in the calculation of the probability of dike failure due to wave overtopping. Constructing a natural foreshore in front of the dike can be an attractive and innovative method to decrease the failure probability....master thesis 2015

van den Brandt, Remon (author)Loss of Control is the primary contributor to aviation fatalities. To prevent this type of accident, flight envelope protection is considered to be a necessary development. The calculation of the Safe Flight Envelope provides a bound on the states that can safely be approached by the aircraft. Although theoretically accurate, some states may not...master thesis 2017
