Multi-Objective Build Orientation and Topology Optimization for Cost and Time Minimization in Fiber Reinforced Additive Manufacturing
… on structural objectives such as compliance minimization, often neglecting non-structural considerations like support structure minimization. Support structures, which are temporary features required for fabricating overhangs, can substantially increase print time, material consumption, and …

Electrophysiology, agent-based modeling and inverse optimal control applications in neuroethology
… two core goals: energy maximization and time minimization. The predatory sea-slug Pleurobranchaea californica has a simple, accessible nervous system and exhibits a repertory of simple behavioral elements that constitute effective foraging strategies. In this thesis, we introduce initial …

Energy optimal path planning using stochastic dynamically orthogonal level set equations
… can predict energy-optimal paths from among all time-optimal paths to complete an underwater mission. For this, we develop rigorous a new stochastic Dynamically Orthogonal Level Set optimization methodology. In our thesis, after a review of existing path planning methodologies with a focus on …

Fuel minimization of a moving vehicle in suburban traffic
… Each node represents a set of coordinates (time and distance from the origin) and the weight between two nodes is the fuel consumption to go from one node to another node. Dijkstra's algorithm finds the shortest path to go from a source to a destination and therefore it gives the optimal …

Optimal Vehicle Path Generator Using Optimization Methods
… meet two separate objective functions; minimum time and maximum tire forces. A three-degree-of freedom vehicle model is used to approximate the handling dynamics of the vehicle. Inputs into the vehicle model are steering angle and longitudinal force at the tire. These two variables approximate …

A Patient Risk Minimization Model for Post-Disaster Medical Delivery Using Unmanned Aircraft Systems
… models by using patient risk as the primary minimization variable.</p> <p>The vehicle routing problem is a subset of operational research that utilizes mathematical models to identify the most efficient route between sets of points. Routing studies using unmanned aircraft systems frequently …

Efficient learning and planning using spatial side information
… transition probabilities or unknown transition times. Specifically, we consider the problems of reward maximization in grid-world environments with unknown, stochastic dynamics and travel time minimization in urban transit routing problems with deterministic dynamics and stochastic travel times. …
