The operation of robotic systems on extraterrestrial missions involves long distance communications, which have large delays and make the control of any agent complicated. This problem becomes even more dominant if multiple robotic systems are used. One solution to this problem is to increase the autonomy of each robotic system such that each...

<div>As Neuroscience progresses, there is an increasing amount of research that endorses predictions and reducing of prediction errors as one of the main functions of the brain. active inference is a brain-inspired, mathematical framework that successfully implements this idea both in simulations as well as in robotics. The predictive nature of...

Optimizing SQL query execution through effective cost models is a critical challenge in database management systems (DBMS). This thesis introduces a modular benchmarking system for cost models, with a pluggable architecture for both cost models and execution engines, enabling comprehensive benchmarking across various scenarios. Accompanied by a...

In large-scale ML, data size becomes a critical variable, especially in the context of large companies, where models already exist and are hard to change and fine-tune. Time to market and model quality are essential metrics, thus looking for ways to select, prune and augment the input data while treating the model as a black box can speed up the...

In Inverse Optimization (IO), it is hypothesized that experts, when making decisions, implicitly engage in solving an optimization problem. If we can reconstruct this optimization problem using the decision data of the expert, then the behavior of the expert can be emulated. In this thesis, a novel inverse optimization model, Kernel Inverse...

The complexity of automated systems has grown considerably during the past decades. This convolutes the observation of possible faults in these systems. If not being revealed timely, such faults can lead to catastrophic failures. As a result, there is a continuous interest in sophisticated fault diagnosis techniques. Since it is generally...

In this thesis, we aim to improve the application of deep reinforcement learning in portfo- lio optimization. Reinforcement learning has in recent years been applied to a wide range of problems, from games to control systems in the physical world and also to finance. While reinforcement learning has shown success in simulated environments (e.g....

E-mobility, in particular electric vehicles (EVs), play a crucial role in the energy transition. While businesses are increasingly adopting EVs, there is still a lot of opportunity to grow. One aspect of this growth is the way these vehicles are used by companies, especially when it comes to the logistics of EV charging. To encourage companies...

In the field of urban development few challenges are as tough as the housing problem. The cause for this is the rapid expansion of urban populations combined with slow construction processes. The Open Design Systems (Odesys) methodology is a preference-based design methodology for creating and evaluating designs. For this it uses a-priori method...

The railway industry is constantly growing to meet the demand of society for stable, accessible and sustainable transportation. With this growth, the need for the railway to be reliable increases, requiring frequent surveying and maintenance. Fugro's RILA (Rail Infrastructure aLignment Acquisition) mobile mapping system contributes by making the...

The dose computation algorithm, or dose engine, is one of the fundamental parts of radiotherapy treatment planning. These algorithms predict how the dose will be distributed inside the patient.<br/>Current dose engines are mainly based on either Monte Carlo simulations (MC) or pencil beam algorithms (PBA). MC being very precise, but relatively...

The Optimal Power Flow (OPF) problem, a cornerstone of power system operations, has gained increased attention since its inception by Carpentier in 1962. OPF is fundamentally an optimization challenge aimed at enhancing electric power system operations within the bounds of physical and operational constraints. Over the decades, various...

Background: Despite over a century’s worth of technical improvements, the longterm survivability associated with orthopedic implants continues to fall short. In contrast to earlier designs, implant failure is no longer caused by structural failure of the implant itself. Rather, it results from the implant’s long-term detrimental effects on the...

Current design methods for oblique manifolds were first presented in the paper of London et al. in 1968. This method presents a single equation to shape the dividing manifold of several manifold configurations. However, current literature shows a potential to improve the current design method by implementing advanced techniques. This paper aims...
