Verton, Pim (author)As advances in silicone CMOS technology steadily plateau, new avenues of electronics design must be explored. Graphene Nanoribbons (GNRs) are a potential solution. Current GNR designs require wasteful exhaustive searches for the required device topologies, limiting the size of the solution space that can be searched. This is fine for simple...master thesis 2024

van Maris, Bart (author)Algorithmic planners occasionally waste effort and thus computing time trying to solve certain tasks, as they often lack the human ability to recognize essential paths. These essential paths, termed landmarks, are vital for optimizing planning processes. This study revisits landmark-based planning methods introduced by Richter, Helmert, and...bachelor thesis 2024

Gunce, Cem (author)Today's electricity supply falls short of current demands, leading to the utilization of gas turbines in both ground based and avionic infrastructures. Nevertheless, these often rely on carbon-based fuels, resulting in escalating CO2 emissions. However, adopting hydrogen as a fuel eliminates carbon emissions. Aside from zero carbon emissions,...master thesis 2024

Kockelkoren, Michiel (author)In recent years, the deployment of ground-based mobile robots has gained more and more interest in various domains. In contrast to other types of mobile robots, legged robots can traverse irregular terrains, climb stairs, and step over obstacles. However, these unique properties intensify the energy demand and require highly advanced perception...master thesis 2024

Zatarain Salazar, J. (author), Kwakkel, J.H. (author), Witvliet, Mark (author)Evolutionary Multi-Objective Direct Policy Search (EMODPS) is a prominent framework for designing control policies in multi-purpose environmental systems, combining direct policy search with multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) to identify Pareto approximate control policies. While EMODPS is effective, the choice of functions...journal article 2024

Schalkers, M.A. (author), Möller, M. (author)In this paper we present a scalable algorithm for fault-tolerant quantum computers for solving the transport equation in two and three spatial dimensions for variable grid sizes and discrete velocities, where the object walls are aligned with the Cartesian grid, the relative difference of velocities in each dimension is bounded by 1 and the...journal article 2024

He, P. (author), Jin, Jian Gang (author), Trépanier, Martin (author), Schulte, F. (author)The burden of first-mile connection to public transit stations is a key barrier that discourages riders from taking public transportation. Public transit agencies typically operate a modest fleet of vehicles to provide first-mile services due to the high operating costs, thus failing to adequately meet the first-mile travel demands,...journal article 2024

Bajaj, V. (author), Van de Plas, Raf (author), Wahls, S. (author)While probabilistic constellation shaping (PCS) enables rate and reach adaption with finer granularity [1] (Cho and Winzer, 2009), it imposes signal processing challenges at the receiver. Since the distribution of PCS-quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) signals tends to be Gaussian, conventional blind polarization demultiplexing algorithms...journal article 2024
