Visual Sort Marker Digitization in Sort Center Operations
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-06)
Companies worldwide recognize the importance of sustainability and are looking for ways to incorporate sustainable practices into their operations. Companies are looking to become more sustainable by reducing their carbon ...
Parameterizing transport maps for ensemble data assimilation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-06)
This thesis discusses methods for Bayesian parameter estimation, particularly in the case of state space models (SSMs). We begin by reviewing established methods for filtering in SSMs, and by examining the graphical model ...
Developing the Next Generation of Autonomous Underwater Gliders
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-09)
This thesis presents a novel, hybrid Autonomous Underwater Glider (AUG) architecture developed for improved performance in shallow, high-current environments while maintaining all capabilities inherent to a deep, 1000m-rated ...
Evaluation of predictive computational modelling in biologic formulation development
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
Computational modelling has completely redefined the experimentation process in many industries, allowing large sets of design concepts to be tested quickly and cheaply very early in the innovation process. Harnessing the ...
A jam-resistant CubeSat communications architecture
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
This thesis proposes a communications system that utilizes the benefits of CubeSats to provide jam-resistant communications. The growth of CubeSats within educational communities has prompted their use in industry; both ...
Constrained extended Kalman filter : an efficient improvement of calibration for dynamic traffic assignment models
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)
The calibration (estimation of inputs and parameters) for dynamic traffic assignment (DTA) systems is a crucial process for traffic prediction accuracy, and thus critical to global traffic management applications to reduce ...
Online communication among student design teams
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
New technological developments are quickly changing the ways the product design community communicates in the workplace and in the classroom. Slack, an online communication software with some project management features, ...
Load bearing interface design for a pan-tilt mechanism for severe marine environments
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) requested the design of a two-axis gimbal device for the shipboard support of a sensor payload. Previous design efforts presented a low-mass two-axis (pan and tilt) machine. Vibration ...
Localizing external contact using proprioceptive sensors : the contact particle filter
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
In order for robots to interact safely and intelligently with their environment they must be able to reliably estimate and localize external contacts. This paper introduces the CPF, the Contact Particle Filter, which is a ...
Value of heterogeneous information in stochastically congestible facilities
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
This thesis studies the effects of heterogeneous information on traffic equilibria and the resulting travel costs (both individual and social) when commuters make departure time choices to cross an unreliable bottleneck ...
