  • Statistical modeling of aircraft engine fuel burn 
    Chati, Yashovardhan Sushil (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
    Fuel burn is a key driver of aircraft performance, and contributes to airline costs and aviation emissions. While the trajectory (ground track) of a flight can be observed using surveillance systems, its fuel consumption ...
  • Network navigation with scheduling 
    Wang, Tianheng, Ph. D. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
    Network navigation is a promising paradigm for enabling location-awareness in dynamic wireless networks. A wireless navigation network consists of agents (mobile with unknown locations) and anchors (possibly mobile with ...
  • The causes and consequences of divergence between the air traffic controller state awareness and actual system state 
    Abel, Brandon R. (Brandon Ross) (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
    Divergence is an inconsistency between the human's system state awareness and the actual system state. This research investigated divergence potential in air traffic controllers and identified controller divergence causes ...
  • Generative multi-robot task and motion planning over long horizons 
    Fernández González, Enrique, Ph. D. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
    The state of the art practice in robotics planning is to script behaviors manually, where each behavior is typically precomputed in advance. However, in order for robots to be able to act robustly and adapt to novel ...
  • Data-driven methods for statistical verification of uncertain nonlinear systems 
    Quindlen, John Francis (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
    Due to the increasing complexity of autonomous, adaptive, and nonlinear systems, engineers commonly rely upon statistical techniques to verify that the closed-loop system satisfies specified performance requirements at all ...
