Prior measurements of ARM TrustZone latency focus on bare-metal monitors or hy-pervisor abstractions rather than the full overhead of a production Trusted ExecutionEnviro[...]

This thesis investigates the problem of collaborative exploration and transmissionof information among a team of heterogeneous agents, to facilitate fellow agent's nav-ig[...]

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[...]

Robot localization faces the classic chicken or egg problem where it has to either know the location of the robot or the map to localize itself. In most applications this[...]

The objective of this thesis was to review and analyze existing algorithms for robot localization and mapping in dynamic indoor environments. Some of the existing algorit[...]

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[...]

As secondary storage devices get faster with flash based solid statedrives (SSDs) and emerging technologies like phase change memories (PCM), overheads in system software[...]

Current medical treatment for comminuted bone fractures, i.e., traumatic bone fractures that result in many bone fragments, is based upon fracture severity classification[...]

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[...]

Robotic simulators have long been used to test code and designs before any actual hardware is tested to ensure safety and efficiency. Many current robotics simulators are[...]
