Assured decison-making for autonomous systems
As autonomous systems become more widely used in society, they will necessarily have to make more decisions in order to meet increasingly complex objectives. However, to facilitate greater deployment of autonomous systems, especially in safety-critical contexts, it is crucial to provide guarantees …

Integrated Microbattery Charger for Autonomous Systems
… a microbattery recharging circuit suitable for autonomous microsystems. The battery charger chosen for this design is a constant current battery charger. Two methods of regulating the constant-current are discussed. A published shunt regulator design is analyzed and is presented with …

Distributed estimation algorithms for autonomous systems
This thesis investigates the theory and applications of distributed estimation algorithms. It was found that for specific objective functions, general meshes of distributed agents may estimate a state while maintaining a consensus over its PDF and satisfying communication/localization objective …

Scalable Distribution of Data Across Autonomous Systems
For the video distribution problem, we first propose a solution approach to mitigate the flooding concerns that ISPs have with IP Multicast. Second, we show how a few (potentially competing) middlemen can be used for creating inter-AS distribution trees for large-scale video distribution.

Enhancing Trust in Autonomous Systems without Verifying Software
The complexity of the software behind autonomous systems is rapidly growing, as are the applications of what they can do. It is not unusual for the lines of code to reach the millions, which adds to the verification challenge. The machine learning algorithms involved are often "black boxes" where …

Stability of linear autonomous systems under regular switching sequences
… discuss the stability of a discrete-time linear autonomous system under regular switching sequences, whose switching sequences are generated by a Muller automaton. This system arises in various engineering problems such as distributed communication and automotive engine control. The asymptotic …

Music as Embodied Action: Interfacing autonomous systems and rhythmical expression
This thesis concerns a particular relationship between music practice, computer technology and the importance of rhythm as a vehicle of musical expression. The intention is to explore new technology to allow for computer-mediated improvisation of rhythmic forms that are derived from a consideration …

A cost model for testing unmanned and autonomous systems of systems
The evolutionary nature of Unmanned and Autonomous Systems of Systems (UASoS) acquisition needs to be matched by equally evolutionary test capabilities in the future. There is currently no standard method to determine what is required to make programs safe for deployment, nor is there the ability …
