Measuring Device for Controlling a Vaporising Liquid Microthruster

The objective of the project is to design a system which can control the temperature of a va-porizing liquid microthruster (VLM). The liquid in a VLM is heated using a heater resistor.This resistor will be used to both heat the liquid and measure the temperature.In this thesis the subsystem responsible for the measurements and the conversion of...

Data-driven Steering-Torque Behaviour Modelling: A Hidden Markov Model Approach

Current commercial Driver Steering Assistance Systems (DSAS) focus on path-tracking performance without taking into account driver intentions. Improved driver-automation interaction can be achieved by sharing vehicle lateral control through torques. Furthermore, integrating a driver steering-torque model allows to better match driver intentions....

Network-Decentralized Control with Collision Avoidance for Multi-Agent Systems

An often preferred method to control a multi-agent system is by a network-decentralised controller. Network-decentralised means that each agent only has knowledge about its own state and the state of its neighbouring agents. In this thesis the multi-agent system consists of holonomic robots moving in a 2-dimensional configuration space. Each...

Two boundary value control algorithms: For the heat equation on the finite domain using the unified transform method

In this work we investigate two boundary-value control algorithms for the heat equation on the finite interval. The algorithms we discuss here are based on the unified transform method (UTM), a method invented by A. S. Fokas to solve boundary value problems of partial differential equations. We first inspect the boundary-value control algorithm...
