  • 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,...

  • The Economic Impact and Ethical Implications of AI

    Creator:
    Gabor, Christian A.
    Abstract:
    Artificial Intelligence has gained resurgence in popularity through machine learning methods. This thesis investigates the current use of AI, the impact it will have on the economy and the ethical considerations for developing this technology. In the coming decade AI could increase global economic output over $10 Trillion. AI will...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Examination of Dielectric Properties of BaTiO3-SrTiO3 Based Systems

    Creator:
    Trobough, Nathaniel D.
    Abstract:
    This thesis examines the dielectric properties of two systems based on the perovskite materials barium titanate and strontium titanate. A solid solution was created starting with these base materials and then adding varying amounts of bismuth-zinc titanate and sodium niobate. These compositions were calcined and sintered at temperatures determined to...

  • 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...
