  • Adaptive methods for robust commercial vehicle control 
    Junell, Jaime L. (2009-07-09)
    This thesis explores the implementation of learning based control with predictive cruise control and the potential this technology has for increasing fuel efficiency while keeping on a well maintained schedule for commer ...
  • Applying hierarchical and adaptive control to coordinating simple robots 
    Knudson, Matthew D. (2008-02-11)
    Coordinating multiple robots to achieve a complex task requires solving two distinct control problems: the high-level control problem of ensuring that each robot aims to perform a useful task (e.g., coordination) and the ...
  • CAM : a new Circuit Augmentation Method for modeling interconnects and passive components 
    Kolstad, Joel W. (2007-07-10)
    Contemporary circuit design involves significant computer-based simulation, calling for a balance between circuit model accuracy and simulation run time. Traditionally, circuit modelers concentrated on producing either ...
  • Clearing bubble blockages in micro channels using a model predictive controller 
    Patton, Chris (2009-07-23)
    Micro scale systems are being utilized in a wide variety of chemical, biological and heat exchanger applications, but suffer from the development of vapor bubbles inside the microchannels due to convective boiling, leadi ...
  • Coevolution and transfer learning in a point-to-point fleet coordination problem 
    Yliniemi, Logan Michael (2012-04-23)
    In this work we present a multiagent Fleet Coordination Problem (FCP). In this formulation, agents seek to minimize the fuel consumed to complete all deliveries while maintaining acceptable on-time delivery performance. ...
  • Combining coordination mechanisms to improve performance in multi-robot teams 
    Nasroullahi, Ehsan (2012-03-09)
    Coordination is essential to achieving good performance in cooperative multiagent systems. To date, most work has focused on either implicit or explicit coordination mechanisms, while relatively little work has focused o ...
  • Condensing observation of locale and agents : a state representation 
    Valenti, Brett A (2010-03-12)
    Computing agents require state information to make coherent and useful decisions. A state representation is a numerical translation of the environment and conditions that are pertinent factors in an agent's decision mak ...
  • Design of an automated system for imaging and sorting soil mesofauna 
    Chamblin, Mike A. (2008-06-26)
    Identification and population counts of soil mesofauna can be an important tool for soil ecologists to determine the soil biodiversity. Information provided from population counts can give insight to soil ecologists ...
  • Detecting fluid flows with bioinspired hair sensors 
    Dickinson, Benjamin T. (2009-09-04)
    Many animals detect prey or enhance their locomotion with information from hair-like receptors that are activated by local fluid flows. The utility of biological hair receptors has motivated the design of artificial hair ...
  • Development of vehicle dynamics tools for motorsports 
    Patton, Chris (2013-02-07)
    In this dissertation, a group of vehicle dynamics simulation tools is developed with two primary goals: to accurately represent vehicle behavior and to provide insight that improves the understanding of vehicle performan ...
  • Dynamics and stability of lateral plane locomotion on variable inclines 
    Bonnono, Scott A. (2009-06-18)
    An actuated, bipedal model is developed to investigate lateral plane locomotion dynamics and stability on inclines. Both the point mass case and rigid body case are considered. Variations in the force-free leg length ar ...
  • Evolving a Multiagent Controller for Micro Aerial Vehicles 
    Salichon, Max; Tumer, Kagan (IEEE-Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2012-11)
    Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) are notoriously difficult to control as they are light, susceptible to minor fluctuations in the environment, and obey highly non-linear dynamics. Indeed, traditional control methods, part ...
  • A hierarchical neuro-evolutionary approach to small quadrotor control 
    Shepherd, Jack F. (Jack Finley) (2010-01-30)
    Quadrotors are unique among Micro Aerial Vehicles in providing excellent maneuverability (as opposed to winged flight),while maintaing a simple mechanical construction (as opposed to helicopters). This mechanical simplic ...
  • Inactivation of bacterial pathogens in drinking water 
    Hartlerode, Evelyn R. (2011-06-21)
    Wine is known to have been enjoyed since ancient times. Although early civilizations where unaware of scientific mechanisms of the properties of wine, empirical methods allowed them knowledge of its intoxicating effects ...
  • Learning based methods applied to the MAV control problem 
    Salichon, Max (2009-12-17)
    This thesis addresses Micro Aerial Vehicle (MAV) control by leveraging learning based techniques to improve robustness of the control system. Applying classical control methods to MAVs is a difficult process due to the c ...
  • Learning from action not taken in multiagent systems 
    Khani, Newsha (2009-06-26)
    Coordination in large multiagent systems in order to achieve a system level goal is a critical challenge. Given the agents' intention to cooperate, there is no guarantee that the agent actions will lead to good system ob ...
  • Learning indirect actions in complex domains: action suggestions for air traffic control 
    Agogino, Adrian; Tumer, Kagan (World Scientific Publishing Company, 2009-09)
    Providing intelligent algorithms to manage the ever-increasing flow of air traffic is critical to the efficiency and economic viability of air transportation systems. Yet, current automated solutions leave existing human ...
  • Learning-based control and coordination of autonomous UAVs 
    Bell, Adam R. (2010-12-21)
    Uninhabited aerial vehicles, also called UAVs are currently controller by a combination of a human pilot at a remote location, and autopilot systems similar to those found on commercial aircraft. As UAVs transition from ...
  • Low power design techniques for high speed pipelined ADCs 
    Lingam, Naga Sasidhar (2009-01-12)
    Real world is analog but the processing of signals can best be done in digital domain. So the need for Analog to Digital Converters(ADCs) is ever rising as more and more applications set in. With the advent of mobile t ...
  • Low-power high-resolution delta-sigma ADC design techniques 
    Wang, Tao (2012-05-29)
