The automotive industry development process for major radically new technologies--inception to production : a study of electric hybrid electric vehicles
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000) -
Automotive industry marketing channels : conflicts and solutions
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)In the dynamic market, manufacturers constantly seek for optimal channel alignment for maximizing the channel benefits, which needs joint efforts by both manufacturer and channel partners. Driven by their own interests, ... -
Automotive Inventory Delivery Location Optimization
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-05)Automotive supply chains are large, complex networks that are frequently looked at for cost reduction opportunities. While research shows many ways to optimize routing and quantities of inventory to save money, it tends ... -
An automotive lower back seat system design
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994) -
Automotive painting : achieving a technological, economic and environmental balance
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995) -
Automotive painting--an economic and strategic analysis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994) -
Automotive telematics : colliding clockspeeds and product architecture strategy
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003) -
Autonomic activity from human videos
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is a part of the nervous system that is responsible for regulation and integration of internal organs' functioning. Traditionally, for the assessment of the ANS function, autonomic activity ... -
Autonomous & adaptive oceanographic feature tracking on board autonomous underwater vehicles
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)The capabilities of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and their ability to perform tasks both autonomously and adaptively are rapidly improving, and the desire to quickly and efficiently sample the ocean environment ... -
Autonomous active ankle exo-skeleton devices provide metabolic cost reduction
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)In this thesis, I designed and conducted an experiment that looks to confirm the metabolic cost decrease associated with the usage of an autonomous active ankle exoskeleton. The primary method to identify the associated ... -
Autonomous adaptation and collaboration of unmanned vehicles for tracking submerged contacts
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Autonomous operations are vital to future naval operations. Unmanned systems, including autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs), are anticipated to play a key role for critical tasks ... -
Autonomous adaptive acoustic relay positioning
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)We consider the problem of maximizing underwater acoustic data transmission by adaptively positioning an autonomous mobile relay so as to learn and exploit spatial variations in channel performance. The acoustic channel ... -
Autonomous aerobatic maneuvering of miniature helicopters
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)In this thesis, I present an experimentally proven control methodology for the autonomous execution of aerobatic maneuvers with small-scale helicopters, and a low-order dynamic model which adequately describes a miniature ... -
Autonomous city form
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)Innovations in transportation give us a chance to rethink and redefine the art of city design, centered as much on the quality of public space as on economic efficiency. Transportation is the backbone of urbanism. What is ... -
Autonomous communicative behaviors in avatars
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997) -
Autonomous control and membrane maintenance optimization of photovoltaic reverse osmosis systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)The supply of clean water in remote and off-grid areas has been a major global challenge for humanity. Over 780 million people lack access to clean water [1]. However, a significant fraction of these people have access to ... -
An autonomous control system for a planetary micro-rover
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1993) -
Autonomous cooperation of heterogeneous platforms for sea-based search tasks
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Many current methods of search using autonomous marine vehicles do not adapt to changes in mission objectives or the environment. A cellular-decomposition-based framework for cooperative, adaptive search is proposed that ... -
Autonomous data collection techniques for approximating marine vehicle kinematics
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Understanding vehicle kinematics is essential in allowing autonomous guidance algorithms to accurately assess short range encounters. Low cost, reconfigurable autonomous vehicles motivate using in-field online techniques ... -
Autonomous data processing and behaviors for adaptive and collaborative underwater sensing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)In this thesis, I designed, simulated and developed behaviors for active riverine data collection platforms. The current state-of-the-art in riverine data collection is plagued by several issues which I identify and address. ...
