This research designs a Fault Tolerant Control (FTC) approach that compensates for both actuator and sensor faults by using multiple observers. This method is shown to w[...]

In this dissertation we study the interactions between free bodies and unsteady viscous flows, with particular interest in locomotion and in particle transport in streami[...]

Integrated Circuits (ICs) for logic (computation) have dramatically increased in both capacity <italic>and</italic> speed since their introduction in 1958. H[...]

Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) is pivotal for autonomous robots to navigate and operate in complex environments autonomously. Despite strides in SLAM techno[...]

This work describes the integration of a rotary shaft encoder system through multiple layers of hardware and software abstraction for autonomous control of an All-Terrain[...]

Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) is the conventional chicken and egg problem where a robot has to map the environment as well as localize itself in the newly [...]

This thesis proposes "1D Convolution replacement layer ", a novel optimization for first convolution layer in CNN. This optimization enables edge friendly streaming acce[...]

Currently there is extensive research and investment in safety technologies, such as Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (\gls{adas}) for enabling road vehicles to become [...]

The last few years have seen rapid advancements in deploying semi and fully-autonomous vehicles into the mass market. Several car manufactures and technology companies ha[...]

Networks inherently facilitate interconnections of resources and people, even if they are remotely located. While this easily facilitates the communication between physic[...]
