Venkatesan, Rangeesh (2021-08-13)This thesis is concerned with the design of an integrated longitudinal and lateral controller for a platoon of connected and automated vehicles executing an emergency lane change maneuver. The efficacy of the designed ...
-
Yi, Hak 1979- (2012-12-05)This dissertation discusses an implementation of a design, control and motion planning for a novel extendable modular redundant robotic manipulator in space constraints, which robots may encounter for completing required ...
-
Denton, Hunter J (2021-04-14)This thesis describes the development and flight testing of a compact, re-configurable, rotary-wing micro air vehicle concept capable of sustained hover and could potentially be launched from a 40mm grenade launcher when ...
-
Yu, Hongtao (2016-12-01)This study presents an integrated hybrid data-driven and model-based approach to detecting abnormal driving conditions. Vehicle data (e.g., velocity and gas pedal position) and traffic data (e.g., positions and velocities ...
-
Ramsey, Ramsay Allen (2022-12-14)This thesis describes the design, development, and flight testing of a quad-cyclocopter weighing 25 kilograms and 1.8 m x 1.4 m x 0.8 m in dimension. This cyclocopter features four cantilevered cyclorotors with a unique ...
-
Nayak, Abhishek (2019-11-21)The effectiveness of law enforcement and public safety is directly dependent on the time taken by first responders to arrive at the scene of an emergency. The primary objective of this thesis is to develop techniques and ...
-
Ganeshan, Reyshwanth (2023-07-25)To safely introduce any level of autonomy to trucks, the health of their brake systems needs to be monitored continuously. Out-of-adjustment push rods and leakages in the air brake system are two major reasons for increased ...
-
Wang, Chao (2016-06-03)In heating, ventilating, and air conditioning applications, heat pump systems are devices that provide cooling and heating to residential and commercial buildings. Control-oriented models and control tools are essential ...
-
Ravidas, Amrish Deep (2011-02-22)A generalized dynamic programming based algorithm and a local search heuristic are used to solve the Two Runway Departure Scheduling Problem that arises at an airport. The objective of this work is to assign the departing ...
