  • Applying hierarchical and adaptive control to coordinating simple robots

    Creator:
    Knudson, Matthew D.
    Abstract:
    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 low-level control problem of ensuring that each robot actually performs the correct actions to achieve its task...

  • Optimal soaring by a small autonomous glider

    Creator:
    Kyle, Jason A.
    Abstract:
    Extending the flight time of an autonomous unmanned air vehicle by soaring is considered. A suboptimal controller is developed and successful static soaring is demonstrated with a 6 degree of freedom glider model. Altitude gain rates of between ¼ and ½ m/s are achieved with this simple implementation. A hybrid...

  • Mixed reactant single chamber fuel cell, using products generated from the electrolysis of an aqueous electrolyte

    Creator:
    Jost, William C.
    Abstract:
    A Mixed Reactant Single Chamber (MRSC) Fuel Cell is a relatively recent concept in the field of fuel cell engineering originally developed in the late 1950’s. Typical fuel cells have separated reactants (a separated fuel and oxidizer) that react on their usually non-selective electro-catalytic materials. A mixed reactant fuel cell...
