Biront, Andreas (author)We explain the design and analysis of a novel voxel design with the goal of reducing assembly time and complexity of the robot-material system. Recent advances in robot-material systems, on the other hand, have focused on mechanical properties, design, and production methods. Making it possible to create cellular structures in harsh and remote...master thesis 2022

Kooi, Emma (author)Abstract— Visual occlusion can cause object detection and classification systems to fail due to swift movement or a soiled, moist or dusty environment. Hence, this asks for a ’blind’ collision detection and classification method. This paper presents a novel blind collision detection and classification scheme for a<br/>heavyweight, low-speed,...master thesis 2022

Gupta, Sukrit (author)A lot research has been conducted in the field of autonomous navigation of mobile robots with focus on Robot Vision and Robot Motion Planning. However, most of the classical navigation solutions require several steps of data pre-processing and hand tuning of parameters, with separate modules for vision, localization, planning and control. All...master thesis 2020

Cassee, Kes (author)Fleet Cleaner B.V. is a company that specializes in the cleaning of ship hulls of oceanic trade vessels using a mobile robot. The mobile robot mainly operates out of sight of the operator, making accurate localization of the robot crucial to its operation. However, the absence of absolute localization and sources for error build-up like wheel...master thesis 2018
