Optimization of Rover Wheel Geometries for Planetary Missions
<p>Rovers have been launched into space for exploration of the Moon and Mars to collect samples of rock and soil. To continue the explorations, the rovers need to have reliable wheels to drive around. However, due to the soil being soft, the wheels on the rover start to lose traction and the wheels …

Rover@Home : computer mediated remote interaction between humans and dogs
In this thesis we create a method to allow dogs and humans to interact over the Internet. In particular, we generalize an established dog training technique known as "clicker-training" such that the remote and co-located interactions are reported by dog owners to be similar. In the process of …

Multi-vehicle rover testbed using a new indoor positioning sensor
… the design and implementation of an indoor multi-rover testbed using a high-precision indoor positioning sensor system. The system model for the rover is derived and used in a Kalman filter that estimates each rover's velocity given the position measurements. These state estimates are then used in …
