Levy, David (2013-06-26)In this paper, a Multiple Vehicle Routing Problem with Fuel Constraints (MVRPFC) is considered. This problem consists of a field of targets to be visited, and a collection of vehicles with fuel tanks that may visit the ...
-
Nazifi, Mohammad Moein (2020-12-02)Falls have numerous adverse effects on the economy and society. Slipping is the main contributor to falling. However, some individuals possess the ability to recover upon slipping while some do not. This dissertation studied ...
-
Li, Wei (2014-08-12)With the development of computer science and manufacturing techniques, modern origami is no longer just used for making artistic shapes as its traditional counterpart was many centuries ago. Instead, the outstanding ...
-
Rollins, Elizabeth (2013-09-03)Because of the widely varying flight conditions in which hypersonic vehicles operate and certain aspects unique to hypersonic flight, the development of control architectures for these vehicles presents a challenge. Previous ...
-
Halder, Atanu (2019-07-23)Present generation of hover-capable micro air vehicles (MAVs) based on conventional rotors have shown poor performance in terms of endurance (<15 minutes), agility, and disturbance-rejection capability. Developing next ...
-
Jin, Zongyao (2020-07-21)Blended shared control is a method to continuously combine control inputs from traditional automatic control systems and human operators for control of machines. An automatic control system generates control input based ...
-
Sethuraman, Samyukta (2015-10-28)This dissertation consists of two parts. The first part delves into the problem of response time estimation in fork-join queueing networks. These systems have been seen in literature for more than thirty years. The estimation ...
-
Kumar, Suveer (2023-08-07)Information gain-based approach is frequently used for exploration in human-machine systems where multiple robots aid a remotely located operator in classification. The amount of information and the marginal increment in ...
-
Lee, Bochan (2021-07-30)The current study focuses on developing an autonomous vertical flight aircraft ship landing system by directly automating the established Navy helicopter ship landing procedure. The central idea involves visually tracking ...
-
Walton, Zachary (2011-08-08)Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are being used more frequently in surveillance scenarios for both civilian and military applications. One such application addresses a UAV patrolling a perimeter, where certain stations can ...
-
Hari, Sai Krishna Kanth (2019-11-14)Missions such as forest fire monitoring, military surveillance and infrastructure monitoring are referred to as persistent monitoring missions. These missions rely heavily on continual data collection from various locations, ...
-
Lu, Wei (2015-12-10)Ridesharing services, whose aim is to gather travelers with similar itineraries and compatible schedules, are able to provide substantial environmental and social benefits through reducing the use of private vehicles. When ...

Park, Myoungkuk (2014-04-24)This dissertation deals with the development and analysis of sub-optimal decision algorithms for a collection of robots that assist a remotely located operator in perimeter surveillance. The operator is tasked with the ...
-
Kellen, Adam John (2019-03-18)This thesis discusses the optimization of a UAV-scale cycloidal rotors (or cyclorotor0 s) aerodynamic performance in hover through an extensive experimental parametric study and the development of a cyclocopter UAV. The ...
-
Nayak, Abhishek (2023-01-19)Autonomous vehicles(AVs) have the potential to revolutionize how we ultimately perceive modern transportation. Many current car models already feature advanced driver-assist systems (ADAS), such as adaptive cruise control ...
-
Shaw, John (2015-12-16)The purpose of this work is to develop a method for modelling centrifugal compressor surge in the presence of pressure pulsations in gas transmission lines, and examine the effects of pulsation amplitude and frequency on ...
