van Osch, Millen (author)Joint attention is the shared focus multiple people can have on the same object and it is subconsciously used by humans every day. The simple act of verbally or non-verbally pointing out an object to one another, is a form of joint attention. Its use facilitates human cooperation, such as when someone needs to hand over an object to another...master thesis 2023

van Zwienen, Benjamin (author)In the literature, neural network compression can significantly reduce the number of floating-point operations (FLOPs) of a neural network with limited accuracy loss. At the same time, it is common to manually design smaller networks instead of using modern compression techniques. This thesis will compare the two approaches for the object...master thesis 2023

Lafontaine, Stijn (author)This thesis focuses on closed-loop product grasping from supermarket shelves. The case is studied where the robot is in front of a shelf in an Albert Heijn supermarket and is tasked to pick a desired product from that shelf. Enabling a robot to achieve the product-picking task, however, is challenging. While many other robotic picking methods...master thesis 2023

van Geerenstein, Mathijs (author)3D object detection models that exploit both LiDAR and camera sensor features are top performers in large-scale autonomous driving benchmarks. A transformer is a popular network architecture used for this task, in which so-called object queries act as candidate objects. Initializing these object queries based on current sensor inputs leads to...master thesis 2023
