  • Implementation of Distributed Localized Communications

    Creator:
    Snyder, Thomas
    Abstract:
    Artificial collectives are useful for accomplishing tasks that require teamwork from multiple simple robots. Multiple robot and collective testbeds have been developed, yet none stay committed to leverage the local interactions, group size, and imperfect information assumptions that strengthen biological collectives. A review of the collective and multiple robot literature,...

  • Designing and Building a Bluetooth Controlled Blimp with Autonomous Capabilities

    Creator:
    Shepherd, Thomas
    Abstract:
    This thesis describes the design and implementation of a Bluetooth controlled blimp with autonomous capabilities through Dead Reckoning. Reasonable research was conducted on current autonomous systems, wireless communication techniques, and suitable microprocessors that could handle the required processing. Building a remotecontrolled blimp requires a light understanding of mechanics to build...

  • Simulated and Experimental Characteristics of Analysis Techniques for ZrCuAlNi/AlOx/Al Metal-Insulator-Metal Tunnel Diodes

    Creator:
    Tan, Cheng
    Abstract:
    This project examines the results of current-voltage conduction mechanism analysis techniques simulated under assumed conduction conditions. Thermionic emission and Fowler-Nordheim tunneling conditions are simulated and analyzed. The resulting plots show how devices behave under different condition mechanisms. The effects of different conduction mechanisms on the results of various analysis techniques...

  • The sexualization of women in modern film trailers

    Creator:
    Loiselle, Sierra
    Abstract:
    Previous research has shown that women are increasingly sexualized in a variety of media contexts. I conducted a content analysis of film trailers from 2018 and 2019 to examine the relationship between the sexualization and objectification of female-presenting characters to the popularity of the film and its trailer. A random...

  • The Design and Implementation of a Motor Controller

    Creator:
    Williamson, Tyler J.
    Abstract:
    This thesis describes the design and implementation of a motor controller that is a customizable and cost effective replacement for the motor controllers used by Edwards Robotics Company (ERC). Extensive research of comparable products available in the market was conducted. The research formed the basis for the design specifications of...

  • Cloud-Enabled Health Monitoring on an Android Device

    Creator:
    Howe, Tyler Daniel
    Abstract:
    Constant and reliable health monitoring can help doctors provide higher quality health care to meet the growing needs of the medical industry. The advent of cloud computing has enabled low-cost sensor devices that can process their data in real-time without powerful onboard hardware. Using an Android smartphone, medical data can...

  • Analysis of the Feasibility of Thermoelectric Energy Harvesters used on the Human Body for the Powering of Wearable Electronic Devices

    Creator:
    Smith, Richard I.
    Abstract:
    Wearable electronic devices are becoming increasingly widespread and are being used to fulfill a variety of needs. These devices range from purely infotainment type systems such as smartwatches and fitness oriented devices to specialized medical devices such as insulin pumps and heart-rate monitors. A challenge faced with all of these...

  • An analysis of control area synchronization on the convergence of distributed state estimators

    Creator:
    Clarke, Blaise
    Abstract:
    This honors undergraduate thesis examines the process of simulating power system state estimation, the use of the alternating direction method of multipliers in the problem of distributed power system state estimation, and provides a rudimentary asynchronous implementation of the above for a linearized DC power system. The asynchronous implementation is...

  • Designing for the Future : A Generalized Software Architecture for Virtual Labs

    Creator:
    Thompson, Kyle B.
    Abstract:
    In recent years, simulated laboratory experiences have become more prevalent in educational curricula. These simulations, called virtual labs, can enable learning in ways that are not limited by physical constraints. The development of virtual labs is often ad hoc, resulting in unnecessary, repetitive work. The purpose of this thesis is...
