Design and development of an autonomous flying excavator platform using a drone
Zaman, Arif Mehmood (2022-09-01)In this research, a drone-based excavation platform prototype is presented with the primary goals of balancing stability during excavation, sensing, and excavating the soil pile autonomously without human intervention. ... -
Design of dust-filtering algorithms for LiDAR sensors in off-road vehicles using the AI and non-AI methods
Afzalaghaeinaeini, Ali (2022-08-01)The performance of Lidar sensors degrades in the presence of dust. These particles can impact sensor measurements and cause robot perception algorithms to misinterpret data. This thesis proposes two distinct dust filtering ... -
Development of an integrated tracking control algorithm and a test platform for autonomous excavation
Reginald, Niraj N. (2020-03-01)Since construction is part of the industrial sector where a large amount of labor is required and workers operate under harsh environmental conditions, the transformation from manual to autonomous operation in modern ... -
Electrical impedance tomography for internal radiation therapy
Tan, Hao Chen (2021-08-01)Internal radiation therapy is a radiation-based treatment for various forms of localized cancer. In this treatment, several needles or catheters are inserted percutaneously into the tissue, and radiation is delivered through ... -
Manipulator’s configuration design, excavation path generation, and underground object detection for an autonomous electric excavator
Ahmadi Khiyavi, Omid (2022-12-01)Construction is an industrial sector that requires high labor costs and is exposed to harsh and hazardous environmental conditions. As a solution to these problems, an autonomous excavator is expected in high demand. To ... -
Predicted safety & excavation progress algorithms for autonomous excavation
Rasul, Abdullah (2020-08-01)Excavation is the process of moving earth and is considered to be one of the primary projects in the construction industry. The adoption of various cutting-edge technologies for full automation can be a solution to the ... -
Waste collection & street-sweeping route optimization using a 2-stage cluster algorithm & heuristic approaches
Parsons, Tyler (2023-04-01)Waste collection and street-sweeping play a vital role in public health, safety, and overall cleanliness. Since these processes cannot be ignored, they should be done in an efficient manner. The following thesis proposes ...
