Support vector machine gesture recognition for a wearable assistive robot for patients with hand osteoarthritis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
Osteoarthritis affects tens of millions of adults in the US alone. A frequent form of this disease is hand osteoarthritis, which affects certain joints of each hand, typically symmetrically. While there is currently no ...
Design, construction, and analysis of a modular ship model and open-source autonomous surface vehicle
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Existing models used to explore hydrostatic, hydrodynamic, seakeeping, and maneuvering characteristics of ships are limited in that their characteristics are essentially static. The effects of various hull appendages, ...
Using image processing methods for a radar estimate of marine vehicle odometry
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Independent navigation verification is an important function in navigation. The current state of the art is to manually plot radar ranges or visual lines of bearing to landmarks that are distinguishable both on the sensor ...
An immersed interface method for incompressible flow with moving boundaries and high order time integration
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
In this work we present a novel Immersed Interface Method (IIM) for simulating two dimensional incompressible flows involving moving rigid bodies immersed in an unbounded fluid domain. To do so, we solve the Navier-Stokes ...
Project-based manufacturing : an approach for quote development
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Project-based manufacturing presents unique challenges that highly automated and repetitive production lines do not face. Highly automated production lines do not have much variation in the types of products that are made, ...
Motivating sustainable behavior through cognitive interventions in product design
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Designing products to encourage sustainable behavior during their use can have a significant influence on their total environmental impact. Cognitive interventions can be used to inform users of the importance of sustainable ...
Experimental verification of biomimetically designed ventral fins for AUVs
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Biomimetics, nature inspiring technology, is the concept of imitating nature models for the purpose of solving complex problems [1]. Finding the right analogs from biology to technology, transferring, and applying them ...
Development and validation of a systems-level cost optimization tool for solar-powered drip irrigation systems for smallholder farms
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
Drip irrigation is a micro-irrigation technology that has been shown to conserve water and significantly increase crop yield. This technology could be particularly beneficial to the world's estimated 500 million smallholder ...
Improving the impact of digital volunteers in disaster response: user-centered design and policy approach
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
Emergency and disaster management has been transformed by mobile technologies and social media. There has been growing interest and research on how to leverage the deluge of social media data for disaster management, ...
Digital metal printing by in-flight melting of individual microparticles
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
Additive manufacturing (AM) of metal components has the potential to impact an immense range of applications and industries, but each metal AM process has key capabilities and limitations that will define its ultimate ...
