Stochastic recruitment strategies for controlling artificial muscles
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
This thesis presents a new architecture for controlling active material actuators inspired by biological motor recruitment. An active material is broken down into many small fibers and grouped together to form one large ...
A fully implantable intracochlear drug delivery device : development and characterization
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
In a collaborative effort with the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, Draper Laboratory is developing an implantable microfluidic drug delivery system for long-term treatment of inner ear disorders and prevention of ...
Combining adaptive and designed statistical experimentation : process improvement, data classification, experimental optimization and model building
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
Research interest in the use of adaptive experimentation has returned recently. This historic technique adapts and learns from each experimental run but requires quick runs and large effects. The basis of this renewed ...
