FOWTs pose several control challenges. This work addresses reduced order modelling of FOWT to develop an MPC. They key objective is tackle the platform pitch instability while improving the performance in other KPIs. An existing reduced order model, which considers platform pitch and surge, and rotor speed DOFs is adapted and extended, with...

Quadrupedal robots possess the ability to move freely in the world and perform a variety of actions that would be unsafe or impractical for humans to perform. In the SNOW project, a quadrupedal robot is tasked with aiding firefighters in rescue missions during house fires by locating humans and assessing their health. Pushing away obstacles that...

Urban mobility is challenged with increasing demand, while at the same time reducing emissions, without leading to an unpleasant living environment. Reducing the number of stops on the urban arterial controlled by the coordinated traffic controller can provide (part of) the solution to these challenges for urban mobility. Coordinated traffic...

To overcome the problem of wave-induced vessel motions on the crane tip, technologies have been developed to compensate for these motions. Most vessels nowadays, are equipped with dynamic positioning systems, these systems reduce the yaw, surge and sway movement of the vessel. This leaves, the motions roll, pitch and heave uncompensated. To...

Nowadays, machine learning (ML) methods rapidly evolve for their use in model-based control applications. Model-based control requires an accurate model description of the dynamical system to reassure the performance of the controller. Conventionally, this model description is retrieved from first-principles modelling which can be problematic if...

Wind energy plays an essential role in the transition to a sustainable future and wind turbines allow us to utilize it. Wind turbines are often installed in close proximity to make the best use of the given space and to save costs. This also has the disadvantage that the turbines influence each other due to wakes. This is where wind farm control...

With the requirements for CubeSats increasing, a push towards utilizing high­performance equipment has never been greater. Incorporating these equipment in an environment that is cost­, space­ and power­constrained, is challenging. Simultaneously, high­performance equipment require high pointing­accuracy and low­jitter. This thesis proposes the...

Based on sparsity maximization we propose a controller for Multiple Daily Injections (MDI)therapy for Type 1 Diabetes melitus (T1DM) individuals. Based on convex relaxations onthe sparsity maximization problems and by implementing personalised linear models of pa-tient we formulate a model predictive controller to determine insulin boluses. By...

Systems and Control deals with modelling and control design of many different types of systems with different behaviour and characteristics. Often times it is challenging to build mathematical models to describe the system dynamics due to limited knowledge of the underlying system, complex nonlinearities, or the existence of unknown exogenous...

Twisted and coiled polymer muscles (TCPMs) show promise to function as artificial muscles, because of their lightweight, low cost, large contraction, and respectively low hysteresis. A TCPM contracts when it is heated and extends when it is cooled. Different modeling and controlling techniques have been implemented. \cite{VanDerWeijde_2019}...

With the increasing focus on project planning in engineer-to-order(ETO) companies, tracking the progress of the design phase of a project is essential for effective planning. Such progress tracking currently is done through the regular feedback of discipline leads, which are intrinsically subjective. The information thus collected is then...

Space debris is becoming one of the major risks to be suffered by operating and future space missions. Recent studies show that the number of potentially hazardous uncontrolled orbital bodies is growing with time, increasing the probability of impact with operational satellites. To counteract this problem, several studies are being suggested to...
