Age-of-information in wireless networks : theory and implementation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Emerging data-driven applications will increasingly rely on sharing time-sensitive information for monitoring and control. Examples are abundant: mobile robots in automated warehouses sharing status information to cooperate ...
Revenue management and resource allocation for communication satellite operators
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
This dissertation presents the first academic study on Revenue Management (RM) for broadband communication satellite (satcom) operators. It proposes a satcom RM framework to structure, automate, and optimize operators' ...
Adjoint sensitivity analysis of the atmospheric impacts of combustion emissions
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
Combustion emissions impact the environment through chemical and transport processes that span varying temporal and spatial scales. Numerical simulation of the effects of combustion emissions and potential corresponding ...
Anticipatory communication strategies for human robot team coordination
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)
Increasing prevalence of autonomous systems has generated interest in effective inclusion of robots as team members in many domains, especially where complex and safety-critical tasks must be performed. We envision a world ...
Feedback control of dynamical systems using neuromorphic vision sensors
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)
The recent development of neuromorphic vision sensors, which provide an asynchronous, high-speed alternative to conventional cameras has lead to a considerable amount of research into their applicability to robotic control ...
Reinforcement learning for robots through efficient simulator sampling
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
Reinforcement learning (RL) has great potential in robotic systems as a tool for developing policies and controllers in novel situations. However, the cost of realworld samples remains prohibitive as most RL algorithms ...
Biomechanics of extravehicular activity and its neutral buoyancy simulation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1987)
Formulation and evaluation of parallel algorithms for the orbit determination problem
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1980)
Performance scaling of a novel Modular Hybrid Propulsion System for aircraft flight performance flexibility and enhancement
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
A novel propulsion system concept, the Modular Hybrid Propulsion System (MHPS) is introduced that has the potential to enable a step-change in aircraft performance and flexibility over traditional carbon-fuel propulsion ...
Stability analysis of electromagnetically supported large space structures
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)
The high cost per unit mass of launch and the fixed envelope of a launch vehicle fairing respectively incentivize the reduction of spacecraft mass and stowed volume, while the performance boosts that come from an increase ...
