Autonomous ground cover clearing utilizing a robotic wheel loader
(2022-04-01)
The ongoing need to remove ground covering such as sand, dirt and snow poses dangers to workers, from fatigue and repetitive work injures, to direct harm in hazardous locations. To address these challenges a robotic system ...
Modeling and analysis of off-road tire cornering characteristics
(2022-05-01)
Cornering performance characteristics of wheeled vehicles substantially rely on the forces/moments generated from interactions between pneumatic tires and terrains. Accurate models are thus required to predict these ...
Design and development of a machine learning-based framework for phishing website detection
(2022-04-01)
Phishing is a social engineering cyber attack to steal personal information from users. Attackers solicit individuals to click phishing links by sending them emails or social media text messages with deceptive content. ...
Li-ion battery electrode state of charge and degradation monitoring using battery casing as the reference electrode
(2022-08-01)
Lithium-ion battery (LIB) internal state such as state of charge (SOC), electrode capacity, and available lithium-ion monitoring is helpful for effective battery degradation monitoring. Monitoring these internal parameters ...
Deep transfer-learning based lithium-ion battery fault diagnosis
(2022-08-01)
Fault detection in lithium-ion batteries (LiB) is paramount to ensuring the long life and proper functioning of the batteries. To that end, this thesis proposes a combined fault diagnosis framework that leverages voltage ...
Lateral stability analysis and MPC tracking control for articulated heavy vehicles
(2022-10-01)
Articulated heavy vehicles (AHVs) exhibit poor maneuverability during curved-path negotiations and low lateral stability under high-speed evasive maneuvers, which may lead to unstable motion modes, e.g., trailer-sway and ...
Improving cold climate performance of heat pumps using market-available systems
(2022-10-01)
Air source heat pumps are an excellent electric alternative to fossil fuel based heating systems for reducing residential greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, but common mild climate systems suffer significant performance losses ...
Microreactor for remote Canadian communities
(2022-11-01)
Remote Canadian communities rely on diesel generators for their electricity needs. Providing such generators with fuel year-round presents challenges because of inclement weather and long transportation distances involved. ...
Design and control of an active ankle-foot orthosis
(2022-04-01)
Active ankle-foot orthoses (AAFOs) assist a user unable to dorsiflex the ankle joint. The optimal AAFO is lightweight and aids the user in achieving a nominal gait.
This thesis presents the design and control of a novel ...
A supervised machine learning-based framework to detect low-level fault injections in software systems
(2022-08-01)
Fault injection attacks inject faults into system components, inducing abnormal software behavior. Software vulnerability analysis cannot prevent new attack vectors without software modifications. Attack detection methods ...
