Bontan, Luc (author)Robots are increasingly deployed in various locations to automate tasks, including in barns. However, in barns cows can obstruct the sensors such as LiDAR or camera, leading to a lack of environmental information. As a result, the robot’s localization system only relies on odometry at those moments, introducing additional uncertainty to the...master thesis 2023

Borren, Noor (author)Introduction: Trauma-induced rib fractures are a common injury, affecting millions of individuals globally each year. Although anteroposterior thoracic radiographs are part of the standard posttraumatic screening, the most sensitive modality, and therefore golden standard for diagnosing rib fractures, is computed tomography (CT). Still, between...master thesis 2023

de Ruijter, Pim (author)The detection of anomalous behaviour is fundamental to component health analysis techniques. However, detecting anomalies is a difficult and time consuming task if their form, location, and frequency are unknown. This research introduces an innovative unsupervised predictive maintenance pipeline that requires minimal domain knowledge and time to...master thesis 2023

van Geerenstein, Mathijs (author)3D object detection models that exploit both LiDAR and camera sensor features are top performers in large-scale autonomous driving benchmarks. A transformer is a popular network architecture used for this task, in which so-called object queries act as candidate objects. Initializing these object queries based on current sensor inputs leads to...master thesis 2023

Polak, Max (author)Incipient slip detection plays an important role in human and robotic grasping. With the growing use of deep learning in vision-based tactile sensing, the black-box nature of these deep neural networks (DNNs) makes it difficult to analyze, debug, and validate their behavior and learned patterns. To fill this gap, eXplainable AI (XAI) methods...master thesis 2023

Lieuw A Soe, Devin (author)This paper studies the effect of integrating color equivariance and invariance into object detection, in particular into the Faster R-CNN architecture. To better understand the influence of this integration, we introduce modifications to the traditional convolutional layers of the standard Faster R-CNN model. By employing group theory in a...master thesis 2023

Mendoza Silva, Santiago (author)Bacterial identification is crucial for addressing infectious diseases and enabling effective treatment strategies. Conventional bacteria identification methods like MALDI-TOF, while efficient, lack the capability for screening the effectiveness of antibiotics. On the other hand, existing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) tests, despite being...master thesis 2023
