Staying Inside the Lines: Vehicle Agnostic Path Following Using Cascaded Adaptive Control
(2020-11-30)
This thesis presents a vehicle agnostic steering controller for path following. Many active safety systems, such as collision avoidance and lane centering, as well as all SAE Level 2+ autonomous vehicles, rely on a lateral ...
Development of Micro-Computed Tomography Data Based Simulation Technique For Deformation and Strain Measurement of Densely Packed Electronics
(2020-05-04)
Rising pace of innovation and continuously increasing investments in research and developments has resulted in higher value added to each electronics equipment around us. This has also resulted in massive rise in demand ...
A Diagnostic Tool for Neuropathy Assessment on the Plantar Surface of the Foot
(2020-07-10)
Neuropathy is categorized as a loss of sensation in the extremities, particularly in the hands and feet. It is often found in people with diabetes and is present in 40-60 million people. Symptoms include burning, numbness, ...
Machine Learning Based Approach Using Electromyography to Predict Joint Angles of the Knee
(2020-07-13)
In order for an active exoskeleton and its user to achieve synchronous motion, the intended motion of the user needs to be detected with enough lead-time to process and move the exoskeleton accordingly. This must also ...
Heat transfer study of airfoil arrays in low Reynolds number gas flows
(2020-12-01)
In electronic components, pin fins arrays are commonly used to manage the thermal load. Even though several shape forms and configurations of the pin fins array are possible, cylindrical and airfoil shapes in staggered ...
Radar Aided INS Navigation Filter with Magnetometer Based Attitude Measurements
(2018-12-11)
This thesis presents a method for GPS-free navigation using a radar-aided inertial navigation
filter with a magnetometer based attitude measurement. GPS has become the popular
tool of choice when considering navigation ...
Experimental and Analytical Investigation of Early Frost Growth on Surfaces with Varying Wettability under Typical Heat Pump Operating Conditions
(2021-04-14)
Frost formation on the fins of the outdoor evaporators of heat pump systems during winter months is a naturally occurring phenomenon with adverse effects on heat pump operation. The frost impedes heat transfer by adding ...
