van Ooijen, Jacob (author)Background: Current challenges in the design of anthropomorphic robot fingers is the implementing of anatomically accurate tendon-ligament structures, specifically for the collateral ligaments, volar plates, and the extensor apparatus. The development of robot fingers with these structures could aid in the further understanding of the functional...master thesis 2022

Munoz, Francisco (author)Waste derived from constructions and demolitions creates an opportunity to lower the carbon footprint of buildings. As bricks and concrete make up two of the most common construction materials world-wide, once the buildings they are built into, reach their end life, a large portion of the waste becomes available for reuse, rich in properties...master thesis 2022

Rodiftsis, Athanasios (author)When designing for structural performance, the geometry of the load-bearing elements is crucial for achieving the required stability. This is even more important in structural forms, such as shells and arches that are predominantly designed by their structural requirements. However, the typical design process starts with the design by the...master thesis 2020

Hester, Thomas (author)This thesis contains the design process of a compliant shape adaptive chicory gripper for robotic sorting processes. The robotic sorting line consists of an input and output conveyor-belt. The input line contains unsorted chicories which are scanned by a robotic vision system. Overhead FlexPicker robots, equipped with chicory grippers, sort the...master thesis 2020

Koeleman, Thijs (author)This project is based around myself (student/young professional) and the need for a quality house after graduating, because the current housing demand of affordable high quality housing does not meet the availability. One cause of this problem is the rather old fashioned construction industry that cannot meet the required amount of housing units...master thesis 2020
