  • Improve the Grasping Performance by Analyzing Target Objects with Computer Vision and Deep Learning Algorithm

    Creator:
    Jeong, Junhyeok
    Abstract:
    Recently there has been a large amount of research into basic human movement as a baseline for robotic motion. Robotic grasping is a challenging problem for a number of reasons. One of which is that it is difficult to accurately know the interaction between the hand and the object, especially...

  • Computer Vision Model Selection For Real-Time Tracking of Apples

    Creator:
    Bloch, Peter J.
    Abstract:
    This paper presents a method of implementing real-time apple detection for closed-loop control to approach apples for grabbing. The approach is to train two known real-time object detection networks–the Faster R-CNN and YOLOv5–on a novel dataset to verify that it is possible to achieve maximum average precision (mAP) above 50\%...

  • Investigation of the Relationship Between Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Rupture and Mechanical Stress

    Creator:
    Agalzoff, Nicholas
    Abstract:
    The factors that cause abdominal aortic aneurysm rupture were investigated. Included in this study were aneurysm volume, thrombus thickness, lumen area, thrombus area, the average stress acting on the aorta, and the maximum stress on the aorta. The geometric values were obtained by tracing a series of computerized axial tomography...

  • Comparing Actuation and Underactuation of Robotic Hands

    Creator:
    DuFrene, Kyle
    Abstract:
    This thesis explores the differences in puppetted and teleoperation control of robotic hands, using the Asterisk test as a benchmark. Two hands were tested, including modified versions of the Model Q and Model Q developed by Yale's GRAB Lab. Small differences were observed between the puppetted and teleoperation control of...

  • Aesthetics of Curve Approximation

    Creator:
    Lippincott, Keith
    Abstract:
    In this work we propose a curve approximation method that operates in the curvature domain. The curvature is represented using one of several different types of basis functions (linear, quadratic, spline, sinusoidal, orthogonal polynomial), and the curve's geometry is reconstructed from that curvature basis. Our hypothesis is that different curvature...

  • The Eight Elements for Identifying the Story of Snow White: From Grimms’ to DEFA to Disney

    Creator:
    Johnston, Chloé Z.
    Abstract:
    The Grimms’ Brothers left their mark on history when they published their first edition of the Kinder- und Hausmärchen gesammelt durch die Brüder Grimm (Nursery and Household tales Collected by the Brothers Grimm) in 1812. Among these newly published tales was that of Snow White. Within the paradigm of the...

  • Autonomous Controls System for Global Formula Racing

    Creator:
    Bishnu, Deven A.
    Abstract:
    This project focuses on implementing a model predictive control (MPC) algorithm as a pathfinding algorithm for navigating tracks with the Oregon State University Global Formula Racing (GFR) team's driverless car. The new algorithm would use an optimization function to calculate the least-cost path for the car to take by assigning...

  • Impact of Unfolded Protein Response, USP14, and NEDD8 Inhibitors Upon Antigen Presentation in SaI/Ak and 4T1 Tumor Cell Lines

    Creator:
    Godil, Jamila A.
    Abstract:
    Antigen presentation is a mechanism used by cells to present peptides on the cell surface. Peptides, derived from both viral or self-proteins are presented on the cell surface by MHC Class I molecules to be recognized and detected by cytotoxic T cells. T cells comprise the defense system to protect...

  • The Relationship Between Spirituality and Energy Use

    Creator:
    Ledesma, Meagan A.
    Abstract:
    Understanding the motivations behind the daily energy use practices of individuals may be very important for encouraging people to live more sustainably. This study delves into the motivations that influence the energy use of individuals in Corvallis, Oregon. Using a survey in conjunction with Energize Corvallis, the faculty, staff, and...

    Creator:
    Schofield, Ryan
    Abstract:
    Designs for improved cookstoves aim to decrease the detrimental environmental and health impacts that are associated with traditional biomass cooking practiced by nearly 40% of the global population. Programs to provide improved cookstoves are found worldwide, and regional testing centers support development of these through emissions testing services. Aprovecho Research...
