Reducing operational cost of an autonomous robot using combined data-driven and navigational algorithms
(2021-04-01)
Autonomous mobile robots have become an important presence in various fields of work, but are restricted by short operation times due to the limitations of their onboard energy sources. This factor bottlenecks applications ...
Joint optimization of transmit beamforming and base station cache allocation in multi-cell C-RAN
(2021-11-01)
Cloud radio access network (C-RAN) with wireless backhaul has been considered as a possible solution for small cell deployment. Limited capacity of wireless backhaul encourages people to equip the base stations (BSs) with ...
A novel spatiotemporal framework for efficient traffic prediction and visualization
(2021-12-01)
This thesis proposes an efficient traffic prediction framework to estimate congestion at intersections depending on neighboring road links. The framework encompasses three major components, data extraction, Bayesian Linear ...
Health and safety enhancement of lithium-ion batteries for fast-charging
(2021-08-01)
With the ever-increasing demand for battery electric vehicles, the expectation of safety, range, and fast charging has become a major focus for industry players and researchers. The research presented herein sought to ...
Enhancing parallel coordinates and RadVis visualizations using single-and multi-objective optimization
(2021-04-01)
Data visualization is crucial to discover hidden patterns and relationships in high dimensional datasets; visualization is an essential branch in data analytics applied in science and engineering fields. This thesis has ...
An integrated wind-powered energy system for residential applications in cold regions
(2021-09-01)
This thesis proposed an integrated direct wind-powered energy system that can provide drinking water, domestic hot water, space heating as well as electricity for residential applications of a remote community in a cold ...
Fast algorithm for joint unicast and multicast beamforming in large-scale systems
(2021-09-01)
We consider a joint unicast and multi-group multicast beamforming problem for massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system with a large number of unicast users. We propose an alternating direction method of multipliers ...
Triton: a domain specific language for cyber-physical systems
(2021-04-01)
The design of cyber-physical systems is non-trivial and often filled with tedious, error-prone tasks that could be represented in a better way. Engineers often work with low-level languages such as C and C++, with real-time ...
Analytical and experimental study of the effect of cutting tool microgeometry on the impact resistance of milling tools
(2021-01-01)
This thesis conducted a two-part investigation into the ability of a milling tool cutting insert to resist the impacts that occur during the milling process, with respect to the cutting edge microgeometry. The first part ...
Comparison of the force and torque transfer for different cam profiles
(2021-09-01)
This study presents static load and torque distribution measurements in groove cams for sinusoidal and cycloidal cam profiles. In this thesis, two different designs and apparatuses were developed and built for the static ...
