(2020-11-18)Internet-of-Things has aroused wide focus to make our society more intelligent and more efficient by employing tremendous connected devices. To ensure its efficiency, battery replacement and maintenance become major ...
-
(2015-08-12)The fly visual system, although tiny when compared to the mammalian visual system, can still perform highly sophisticated functions to help the animal navigate through the environment. An example of such a function is the ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1995)Autonomous Finite State Machines constructed from shift registers and EXOR gates only are attractive as test pattern generators for Built-in Self Test. Popular TPGs like LFSRs and CA are one such class of Autonomous Linear ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)The objectives of this dissertation were to find a principal domain of promising and technologically feasible reactor physics characteristics for a multi-purpose, modular-sized, lead-cooled, fast neutron spectrum reactor ...
-
(2018-03-13)The autonomous navigation of mobile robots is of great interest in mobile robotics. Algorithms such as simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) and artificial potential field methods can be applied to known and mapped ...

(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)The objective of this research is to demonstrate a robotic wheelchair moving in an unknown environment with collision-avoidance navigation. A real-time path-planning algorithm was implemented by detecting the range to ...
-
(2020-05-19)Autonomous navigation capabilities for spacecraft are useful for decreasing operational costs, increasing the scope of missions, and increasing the robustness of spacecraft. This dissertation aims to present and fully ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1991)Autonomous star sensing and pattern recognition for attitude determination provides many technological challenges to modern spacecraft optical sensor design. This is mostly due to the relatively high accuracy requirements ...
-
(2015-09-28)There is much research being done in the field of swarming robotics and more specifically swarming unmanned aerial vehicles or UAVs. The most common platform used is the quadcopter because of its versatility. The problem ...
-
(2020-07-29)The advent of autonomous vehicles presents both opportunities and challenges to planners who might see the potential of new technologies in supporting more compact cities but worry about the potential downsides of ...
-
(2017-12-06)Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of human liver cancer and it is now the second leading cause of cancer death worldwide. In the United States, its incidence has tripled since 1980 and the death rates ...
-
(2017-04-21)The mechanisms by which the immune system distinguishes self from non-self are essential in providing protection from pathogenic invaders and to prevent autoimmunity. Over the last few decades, the discovery of regulatory ...
-
(2022-06-21)Recommender systems are highly specialized to handle specific data and tasks. For example, Neural Collaborative Filtering [1] takes the implicit interaction between user and item IDs as the input data for the rating ...
-
(2016-08-09)Biosynthetic alternatives for high-density petroleum derived tactical fuels, like JP-8 and JP-10, remain elusive given their tremendously high energy densities, low temperature viscosity and cloud point. Limonene, a bicyclic ...
