H-Delta: design and applications of a novel 5 degree of freedom parallel robot
(2018-04-01)
This thesis presents a new parallel 5 DOF robot called the H-Delta. The H-
Delta adds 2 degrees of freedom (DOF) to the traditional Delta robot in a novel
way, adding functionality and versatility. Importantly, the rotational ...
Design and implementation of a single phase modified Z-source inverter topology for photovoltaic/grid interconnected DC charging applications
(2018-03-01)
Solar energy has been the most popular sources of renewable energy for residential and
semi-commercial applications. Solar energy sources alone cannot be used to charge an
electric vehicle (EV). Solar/Grid interconnected ...
Beyond prosocial motivations to empathize
(2018-11-01)
This study aimed to re-evaluate the lay assumption that empathic concern is entirely guided by prosocial motivations. To this end, the Empathic Concern Motivations Scale was created to measure the magnitude of one’s prosocial ...
Towards efficient and scalable computer vision systems
(2018-01-01)
There is a large growth in hardware and software systems capable of producing vast amounts of image and video data. These systems are rich sources of continuous and possibly infinite image and video streams. This motivates ...
A secure and privacy-preserving incentive framework for vehicular cloud
(2018-04-01)
Vehicular Cloud Computing (VCC) plays a critical role in data generation where a large number of vehicles collect various kinds of sensing resources with large-volume features. While the information that should be collected ...
Secure and privacy-preserving fog-assisted vehicular crowdsensing
(2018-08-01)
Vehicular crowdsensing (VCS) is an emerging paradigm where vehicles use onboard sensors to collect and share data with the aim of measuring phenomena of common interest. VCS has allowed for automated control as well as ...
Board game accessibility for persons with visual impairment
(2018-12-01)
Despite the huge popularity and benefits of traditional board games, they present serious accessibility issues to players, particularly those with visual impairments, due to the heavy use of visuals to communicate gameplay ...
