This thesis studies the automatic design and optimization of high-performing robust controllers for mobile robots using exclusively on-board resources. Due to the often large parameter space and noisy performance metrics, this constitutes an expensive opti ...
The measurement matrix employed in compressive sensing typically cannot be known precisely a priori, and must be estimated via calibration. One may take multiple compressive measurements, from which the measurement matrix and underlying signals may be esti ...
In the past decades, wire electric discharge machining (W-EDM) has undergone a number of techno-logical developments aimed at improving its process performance. Still the current practice of W-EDM is not defect-free and results in a number of surface relat ...
The development of embedded and interlayer liquid cooling in integrated circuits (ICs) using silicon microchannels has gained interest in the recent years owing to the rise of on-chip heat uses that aggravate thermal reliability issues of the emerging 3D s ...
Although conventional structural analysis software is widely used by practicing engineers, its pedagogical value for students is limited, especially in design applications. Nevertheless, there is an established value in students exploring engineering probl ...
The design of a microvascular flow network embedded in an actively-cooled polymeric material is presented. A multi-objective Genetic Algorithm (GA) combined with the finite element method is first used to determine the quasi-optimized network configuration ...
Thanks to their high quality factor, combined to the smallest modal volume, defect-cavities in photonic crystal slabs represent a promising, versatile tool for fundamental studies and applications in photonics. In paricular, the L3, H0, and H1 defects are ...
This paper considers the path following of unmanned helicopters based on dynamic optimization. We assume that the helicopter is equipped with a flight control system which provides an approximation of its closed-loop dynamics. The task at hand is to derive ...
Water-leaving radiance is subject to depth variability of the water constituents. The optical penetration depth is strongly dependent on the wavelength λ, which allows to retrieve a non-uniform vertical profile of an optically-active constituent CTSM(z) fr ...
Photonic crystal point-defect cavities were fabricated in a GaN free-standing photonic crystal slab. The cavities are based on the popular L3 design, which was optimized using an automated process based on a genetic algorithm, in order to maximize the qual ...
