Moving and adapting with a learning exoskeleton
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
The operation of a powered exoskeleton is a type of human-robot interaction with extremely tight human-robot coupling. As exoskeletons become increasingly intelligent, it is increasingly appropriate to think of them not ...
Data-driven modeling of air traffic flows for advanced Air Traffic Management
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
The Air Traffic Management (ATM) system enables air transportation by ensuring a safe and orderly air traffic flow. As the air transport demand has grown, ATM has become increasingly challenging, resulting in high levels ...
100 Gbps ptical coherent modem for low earth orbit optical inter-satellite links
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Free space optical communication (FSOC) provides a viable and cost-effective solution for future satellite systems with advantages in bandwidth, unregulated frequencies, and reduced system mass, volume, and power consumption ...
New problems in revenue management, theory and applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
This thesis studies new applications of revenue management that can be used by airlines and the ride-sharing industry. Our first and main focus is on online advertising with applications to advertisement of flight tickets. ...
Characterization and mitigation of blade waviness effects on fan performance
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
The role of surface waviness, arising from carbon composite manufacturing process, on aeroengine fan blade performance is characterized. The mechanisms for laminar-turbulent transition are assessed numerically and ...
Active STPA : integration of hazard analysis into a Safety Management System Framework
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
This dissertation describes a new approach to integrate a hazard analysis into Safety Management Systems (SMS). This new engineering process guides safety managers and analysts in the identification of a migration toward ...
Systems analysis of community noise impacts of advanced flight procedures for conventional and hybrid electric aircraft
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Recent changes to aircraft approach and departure procedures enabled by more precise navigation technologies have created noise concentration problems for communities beneath flight tracks. There may be opportunities to ...
Plan summarization for decision support in human team planning
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Humans often make their plans in groups, sharing information, ideas, and preferences before arriving at a final plan. Human team planning sessions, however, often suffer from inefficiencies such as getting off topic, losing ...
Systems analysis of urban air mobility operational scaling
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Urban air mobility (UAM) refers to a set of vehicles and operational concepts that provide on-demand or scheduled air transportation services for passengers and cargo within a metropolitan area. Prior UAM systems based on ...
Leveraging prior information for real-time monocular simultaneous localization and mapping
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021)
Monocular cameras are powerful sensors for a variety of computer vision tasks since they are small, inexpensive, and provide dense perceptual information about the surrounding environment. Efficiently estimating the pose ...
