Mamone, Dario (author), Bosio, Alberto (author), Savino, Alessandro (author), Hamdioui, S. (author), Rebaudengo, Maurizio (author)Nowadays, the reliability has become one of the main issues for safety-critical embedded systems, like automotive, aerospace and avionic. In an embedded system, the full system stack usually includes, between the hardware layer and the software/application layer, a middle layer composed by the Operating System (OS) and the middleware. Most of...conference paper 2020

de Winkel, Jasper (author)Energy-harvesting devices have enabled Internet of Things applications that were impossible before. Power failures are the norm for these battery-less devices, imposing a challenge to maintain a continued notion of time on these energy restricted devices. To address this challenge we introduce a novel time measurement architecture for energy...master thesis 2019

Giannakaras, George (author)Underwater robots are widely used in various operations below the surface of the sea. In many of these operations the precise localization and positioning is quite important, especially in cases that the robot must navigate between man-made installations. Although underwater vehicles can carry a number of different sensors, many of them can not...master thesis 2019

Misdorp, Alexander (author)Visual perception is a pillar of human life. Visual impairment, therefore, has a severe impact on the quality of life. The Bioelectronic Interface to Sensory Cortex (BISC) project is aimed at building a system capable of both recording and stimulating neurons in order to remedy visual impairment. The proposed BISC system consists of three...master thesis 2019

Ketel, Thijmen (author)RFID technology is slowly replacing traditional bar codes as a way to identify and track objects and individuals. However, consumer-oriented market penetration has been limited as dedicated RFID readers carry a high start-up cost. Furthermore, interactions with individual tags require special-purpose RFID readers. We present a novel RFID tag...master thesis 2019

Managundi, Kavya (author)Locating people inside buildings is still an unsolved problem. There is a lot<br/>of research going on in this field and many different solutions using different<br/>techniques have been proposed. However, there is no widely accepted indoor<br/>localization solution like how GPS is for outdoor localization due to less accuracy, higher hardware...master thesis 2019

Schilder, Patrick (author)The Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to include billions of tiny devices that collect, process, and communicate sensory data. As of now, batteries power these devices. Batteries, however, are large, expensive, and short-lived - even the rechargeable ones wear out in a few years. Therefore, they are not a sustainable powering solution. Tiny...master thesis 2019

Koeten, Vincent (author)Current hospital protocols dictate patients be turned at least every three hours in the effort of preventing pressure ulcers. To reduce the workload of nurses, Momo Medical has created an embedded sensing device to track the patient's posture and notify nurses when it is time to turn them. The challenge presented and the focus of this thesis is...master thesis 2018

Verhaert, Danilo (author)Tock is an embedded operating system that can run multiple concurrent, mutually distrustful processes, concurrently. Tock is written in Rust, a novel system programming language enforcing type safety at compile-time, and takes advantage of Rust's strong safety features. However, since Tock allows user-level applications to be written in any...master thesis 2018

Bisht, Anirudh (author)ECG signals captured almost always have motion artefact noise. This noise arises due to relative motion between the ECG electrode and skin. To remove this noise a reference signal is required that correlates to the noise. This thesis presents the design and test results of a prototype system that incorporates various motion sensors into an ECG...master thesis 2018

Rouwen, Floris (author)The TU Delft ZEs-Benige RObot (Zebro) project is presented with the opportunity to bring the Zebro concept to the surface of our moon. To maximise the probability of success, the Locomotion Sub-System (LSS) software of Lunar Zebro is developed using a novel model-driven design tool called Dezyne. Dezyne uses a proprietary language to describe...master thesis 2018

Vos, Dirk (author)This Thesis report will discuss the development of embedded control systems for process control (in this case for the calibration of a gas analyser). The main research question being: Which control algorithm will be able to achieve the most optimal calibration procedure? A calibration bench which will be used to create a specific condition (gas...master thesis 2018

Zapreev, I. (author), Verdier, C.F. (author), Mazo, M. (author)Controller synthesis techniques based on symbolic abstractions appeal by producing correct-by-design controllers, under intricate behavioural constraints. Yet, being relations between abstract states and inputs, such controllers are immense in size, which makes them futile for embedded platforms. Control-synthesis tools such as PESSOA, SCOTS,...journal article 2018

Chan Zheng, Carmen (author)Miniaturization and cost reduction of hardware components have created a trend in the space industry where the traditional centralized computer is being replaced by distributed computer architecture. However, this trend comes with a cost: the on-board software complexity of the space missions has increased. The complexity has origins in the...master thesis 2017
