de Geer, Fleur (author)In patients with oral cavity cancer invading the mandible, a segmental bone resection is performed and the original contour of the mandible is reconstructed with a free fibula flap. Virtual surgical planning is performed prior to surgery to determine the locations and orientations of the osteotomy planes on the mandible and fibula. Currently,...master thesis 2022

Turan, E. (author), Speretta, S. (author), Gill, E.K.A. (author)In recent years, there is a growing interest in small satellites for deep space exploration. The current approach for planetary navigation is based on ground-based radiometric tracking. A new era of low-cost small satellites for space exploration will require autonomous deep space navigation. This will decrease the reliance on ground-based...review 2022

Wahlstrom, Johan (author), Kok, M. (author)The last years have seen a growing body of literature on data-driven pedestrian inertial navigation. However, despite this, it is still unclear how to efficiently combine classical models and other a priori information with existing machine learning frameworks. In this paper, we first categorize existing approaches to data-driven pedestrian...journal article 2022

van der Marel, M.P. (author), Rajan, R.T. (author)Formation control (FC) of multi-agent systems plays a critical role in a wide variety of fields. In the absence of absolute positioning, agents in FC systems rely on relative position measurements with respect to their neighbors. In distributed filter design literature, relative observation models are comparatively unexplored, and in FC...conference paper 2022
