  • Multiagent learning for locomotion and coordination in tensegrity robotics

    Creator:
    Iscen, Atil
    Abstract:
    Tensegrity structures are composed of pure compressional elements that are connected via a network of pure tensional elements. The concept of tensegrity promises numerous advantages to the field of robotics. Tensegrity robots are, however, notoriously difficult to control due to their oscillatory nature and nonlinear interaction between the components. Multiagent...

  • D₊₊ : Structural Credit Assignment in Tightly Coupled Multiagent Domains

    Creator:
    Rahmattalabi, Aida
    Abstract:
    Autonomous multiagent teams can be used in complex exploration tasks to both expedite the exploration and improve the efficiency. However, use of multiagent systems presents additional challenges. Specifically, in domains where the agents' actions are tightly coupled, coordinating multiple agents to achieve cooperative behavior at the group level is difficult....

  • Adaptive Multiagent Traffic Management for Autonomous Robotic Systems

    Creator:
    Rebhuhn, Carrie
    Abstract:
    There is growing commercial interest in the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in urban environments, specifically for package delivery applications. However, the size, complexity and sheer numbers of expected UAVs makes conventional air traffic management that relies on human air traffic controllers infeasible. To enable UAVs to safely and...

  • Learning-based Control of Experimental Hybrid Fuel Cell Power Plant

    Creator:
    Gabler, Andrew
    Abstract:
    Direct red Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) Turbine hybrid plants have the potential to dramatically increase power plant efficiency, decrease emissions, and provide fast response to transient loads. The US Department of Energy's (DOE) Hybrid Performance Project is an experimental hybrid SOFC plant, built at the National Energy Technology Laboratory...

  • Coordination for Scalable Multiple Robot Planning Under Temporal Uncertainty

    Creator:
    Marcon dos Santos, Gilberto
    Abstract:
    This dissertation incorporates coalition formation and probabilistic planning towards a domain-independent automated planning solution scalable to multiple heterogeneous robots in complex domains. The first research direction investigates the effectiveness of Task Fusion and introduces heuristics that improve task allocation and result in better quality plans, while requiring lower computational cost...

  • Microstructure of radiation damage in the uranium film and its backing materials irradiated with 136 MeV 136Xe+26, Microstructure of radiation damage in the uranium film and its backing materials irradiated with 136 MeV ¹³⁶Xe⁺²⁶

    Creator:
    Sadi, Supriyadi
    Abstract:
    Microstructure changes in uranium and uranium/metal alloys due to radiation damage are of great interest in nuclear science and engineering. Titanium has attracted attention because of its similarity to Zr. It has been proposed for use in the second generation of fusion reactors due to its resistance to radiation-induced swelling....

  • Semantic embodied navigation : developing agents that navigate from language and vision

    Creator:
    Krantz, Jacob
    Abstract:
    Autonomous robotic agents are on their way to becoming in-home personal assistants, construction assistants, and warehouse workers. The degree of autonomy of such systems is reflected by the manner in which we specify goals to them; the abstraction of low-level commands to high-level goals goes hand-in-hand with increased autonomy. In...

  • Advanced separation of concerns and the compatibility of aspect-orientation

    Creator:
    Dechow, Doug
    Abstract:
    The appropriate separation of concerns is a fundamental engineering principle. A concern, for software developers, is that which must be represented by code in a program; by extension, separation of concerns is the ability to represent a single concern in a single appropriate programming language construct. Advanced separation of concerns...

  • Visual object discovery and understanding

    Creator:
    Yuan, Jialin
    Abstract:
    Learning to recognize objects is a fundamental and essential step in human perception and understanding of the world. Accordingly, research of object discovery across diverse modalities plays a pivotal role in the context of computer vision. This field not only contributes significantly to enhancing our understanding of visual information but...

  • The density signature

    Creator:
    Migler-VonDollen, Theresa
    Abstract:
    In real networks, identifying dense regions is of great importance. For example, in a network that represents academic collaboration, authors within the densest component of the graph tend to be the most prolific. Dense subgraphs often identify communities in social networks. And dense subgraphs can be used to discover regulatory...
