Rado, Karlo (author)A key challenge for SaR robotics is to avoid dynamic obstacles in cluttered environments, with limited and noisy information. In this research, a controller for SaR robots is developed by coupling a local heuristic motion planner with a model predictive control (MPC) based trajectory tracker. Constraint tightening and tube-based control are used...master thesis 2023

Bărbulescu, Liliana (author)Robot manipulators are significantly more accurate than their human counterparts and enhance the repeatability of various tasks. However, manufactures still provide reduced information regarding the robot controller functions, typically affecting robots' predictability. Additionally, industrial examples show that system transparency could be...master thesis 2023

Lopes, Wilfred (author)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...master thesis 2021

Christodoulou, Christodoulos (author)The platooning of trucks provides significant benefits in the existing transportation systems regarding social, economic and environmental aspects. Due to the platoon's high dependence on sensors, it is critically important to have fault-tolerant countermeasures that deal efficiently with failures by achieving minimal risk condition. This thesis...master thesis 2021

Gooijaers, Leo (author)To be able to increase the safety and efficiency of automated wind turbine inspection a robust solution is needed that takes into account wind during trajectory planning. This paper presents such a solution in the form of an algorithm, which uses Dijkstra’s algorithm as a basis for optimisation. To allow for online replanning the horizontal and...master thesis 2021

Ou, Y. (author)Trucks are largely used in road transportation worldwide in recent decades, and make great contributions to the GDP. Statistics shows that a large number of truck-involved accidents occur related to the ramp in merging manoeuvres on the highway. The accidents involved in trucks can lead to a considerable economic cost. The development of...master thesis 2016

Van Duijkeren, N.J. (author)The so-called A-double long heavy vehicle combination is a 32 meter long and up to 80 tonnes heavy double-trailer truck widely used in Canada and Australia today, and will be more abundant on the road also in Europe in the near future. They have the potential to decrease road transport cost, traffic congestion and generate lower emissions than...master thesis 2014
