Novel opposition-based sampling methods for efficiently solving challenging optimization problems
(2011-04-01)
In solving noise-free and noisy optimization problems, candidate initialization and sampling
play a key role, but are not deeply investigated. It is of interest to know if the entire
search space has the same quality for ...
Test platform design and control of a bicycle-type two-wheeled autonomous vehicle
(2011-03-01)
Bicycle dynamics and behaviors have been vastly studied through modeling and
simulation. Due to the complexity, software models are often assumed subjecting
to di erent nonholonomic constraints in order to simplify the ...
Analysis and processing issues of plastic color mismatch
(2011-05-01)
Color is a visual characteristic which imparts the ability to categorize different
objects. When light strikes an object, there are three possibilities as to what can happen.
The light may be reflected, refracted or ...
Secure and compromise-resilient architecture for advanced metering infrastructure
(2011-03-01)
In recent years, the Smart Grid has grown to be the solution for future electrical energy that promises to avoid blackouts as well as to be energy efficient, environmentally and customer-friendly. In Smart Grid, the ...
Haptic teleoperation of mobile manipulator systems using virtual fixtures.
(2011-11-01)
In order to make the task of controlling Mobile-Manipulator Systems (MMS) simpler, a
novel command strategy that uses a single joystick is presented to replace the existing
paradigm of using multiple joysticks. To improve ...
Study on linking a SuperCritical water-cooled nuclear reactor to a hydrogen production facility
(2011-07-01)
The SuperCritical Water-cooled nuclear Reactor (SCWR) is one of six Generation-IV nuclear-reactor concepts currently being designed. It will operate at pressures of 25 MPa and temperatures up to 625°C. These operating ...
Thermal aspects of high efficiency channel with conventional and alternative fuels in SuperCritical water-cooled reactor (SCWR) applications
(2011-03-01)
Chosen as one of six Generation‒IV nuclear-reactor concepts, SuperCritical Water-cooled Reactors (SCWRs) are expected to have high thermal efficiencies within the range of 45 ‒ 50% owing to reactor‘s high outlet temperatures. ...
Non-linear model predictive control for autonomous vehicles
(2011-11-01)
With the advent of faster computer processors and better optimization algorithms,
Model Predictive Control (MPC) systems are more readily used for real-time applications.
This research focuses on the application of MPC ...
Enhancing roll stability and directional performance of articulated heavy vehicles based on anti-roll control and design optimization.
(2011-10-01)
This research presents an investigation to actively improve the rollover stability of articulated heavy vehicles (AHVs) during high speed manoeuvres using anti-roll control systems. A 3-dimensional (3-D) linear yaw/roll ...
Social-based trustworthy data forwarding in vehicular delay tolerant networks
(2011-03-01)
Vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) is an emerging new communication technol-ogy which has attracted a lot of research attention from academic community and indus-try. For many applications in VANETs, information has to be ...
