Optical Quartz Crystal Microbalance (OQCM) for Dual-Mode Analysis
(2018)
Label-free biosensors allow for real-time measurements of the target molecule, providing valuable kinetic data about the unperturbed biological system. Yet, they generally rely on a single transduction mechanism that ...
An Internal Model Principle Approach to Modeling Predictive Human Motor Behavior
(2021)
For the sensorimotor system to complete motor tasks it controls the body, it controls objects that the sensorimotor system acts upon within the environment, and it anticipates future states of the environment. The sensorimotor ...
Towards Safe and Equitable Intelligent Transportation Systems: Leveraging Stochastic Control Theory in Attack Detection
(2021)
Intelligent transportation systems (ITSs) promise to significantly reduce traffic congestion while simultaneously improving road user safety. To accomplish this, ITSs make real-time control decisions using data collected ...
A Prediction and Planning Framework for Scalable Autonomous Driving in Urban Areas
(2022)
In the past few years, automotive and technology companies have made major progress towards the real-world deployment of autonomous driving technologies. A few companies have launched fully autonomous driving technologies ...
Extensions of Retrospective Cost Adaptive Control: Nonsquare Plants, and Robustness Modifications.
(2013)
Controllers that have adjustable parameters, and an update law for adjusting these parameters,
are called ``adaptive controllers''. Adaptive controllers typically entail assumptions about
the dynamic order, relative degree ...
Probing Heat Transport and Energy Conversion at the Atomic and Single Molecule Scale
(2018)
The study of heat transport and energy conversion constitutes an important subject in modern physics and engineering research. The widely-applied Fourier’s and Planck’s laws have proven to be very useful to describe heat ...
Modeling and Improving Teleoperation Performance of Semi-Autonomous Wheeled Robots
(2017)
Robotics and unmanned vehicles have allowed us to interact with environments in ways that were impossible decades ago. As perception, decision making, and control improve, it becomes possible to automate more parts of robot ...
Game-Theoretic and Set-Based Methods for Safe Autonomous Vehicles on Shared Roads
(2021)
Autonomous vehicle (AV) technology promises safer, cleaner, and more efficient transportation, as well as improved mobility for the young, elderly, and disabled. One of the biggest challenges of AV technology is the ...
Flow and Thermal Management Methods, and High Performance Microvalves for Highly Integrated Microscale Gas Chromatographs
(2021)
Microscale gas chromatographs (µGCs) are being investigated and developed for homeland security, defense, and environmental monitoring applications, providing the capability to accumulate, separate, detect, and quantify ...
Transportation in Transition: Data-Driven Sustainability Assessment of Automated, Electric, and Shared Mobility
(2021)
Emerging technologies in transportation, including vehicle automation, electrification, and shared mobility, are poised to transform the mobility paradigm, transportation markets, and travelers’ behavior in the coming ...
