The use of distributed multi-agent formation control for non-holonomic mobile robots shows great promise in practical environments. In this thesis, a Robot Operating System (ROS) package is developed in which various formation control algorithms are implemented for use on a group of skid-steer drive mobile robots. These formation control...

Background. The past four decades, the problem of resistant bacteria has emerged. As a result of biofilm formation of (resistant) bacteria on the implant, more implant-associated infections (IAI) occurred. This has caused an increase in orthopaedic implant revisions, causing a high burden of disease. To overcome the rising problem of resistance,...

With the steady increase in space missions, enabled through technological advances and increase of commercialisation within the space flight industry, both more and increasingly complex missions can be designed for space. To this end, the Lunar Zebro project competes within this field through its small lunar rover design, drastically decreasing...

With a fast growing world population, the lack of fresh water is one of the world’s biggest future concerns. Water stress can lead to conflicts, holds back economic growth and has a major impact on human health. Nowadays, more and more countries that lack fresh water sources are using the saline water from the oceans and desalinate it to produce...

With the growing population and industrial development, there is more stress on natural water resources. Additionally, environmental laws make the disposal of waste streams from industries difficult. In this scenario, it is crucial to treat waste streams to recover water and possibly minerals, for reuse in the industry, reducing the dependency...

Worldwide fresh water scarcity is nowadays becoming a reality rather than a futuristic concern. Non-conventional sources of wastewater are being considered as a solution for this problem, since fresh water sources will not be sufficient to satisfy the world’s water demand in the following years. Extensive research is being done on different...

The grasping of objects is a highly desired function for service robots. To aid with grasping, researchers have developed grasping approaches. A demerit of existing approaches is that they solely focus on the grasp finding. A more important part in grasping is the grasp execution, which involves the solving of a motion planning problem....
