Low-cost Rigid-frame Exoskeleton Glove with Finger-joint Flexion Tracking Mapped onto a Robotic Hand (2015-04-30)This thesis provides a representation of a low-cost rigid-frame exoskeleton glove that is used to track finger-joint flexion mapped onto a robotic hand to mimic user movements. The overall setup consists of an exoskeleton ...
-
(2016-12-05)In this dissertation, we introduce several novel tools for cluster-based analysis of complex systems and design solution approaches to solve the corresponding optimization problems. Cluster-based analysis is a subfield of ...
-
(2011-08-08)We consider a communication system where two transmitters wish to exchange information through a central relay. The data is assumed to be transmitted over synchronized, average power constrained additive white Gaussian ...
-
(2018-01-10)The concept full chip integration of circuits has gained traction over the years with the push towards system-on-chip (SoC) designs which serve the niche for portable, low-power devices from the handheld category to ...
-
(2010-10-12)From the various studies, it can be concluded that the excessive summer heating and the humidity are one of the major problems of the hot, humid climatic region. The literature review for this study shows that natural ...
