A robust INS/PnP fusion method for GNSS-denied navigation of small UAVs
This thesis presents three INS/VISNAV integration architectures to deal with prob- lem when operating UAVs. The first two integration architectures are called tight and loose INS/VISNAV integration, respectively. The tight and loose integration strategies are not new and have been used before. The …

Optimizing the Design of Robot Environments via Interleaved Optimization and White-Box Motion-Planning
… by an inner graph-based planner. We dub this tight integration between the optimizer and motion planner a “white box” optimization approach, and propose two methods of actualizing it. We note that each of these methods is adapted to the specific gradient-free optimizer being used, underscoring …

Design for low-power high-density helmet dispensing and collection systems for urban environments
… several constraints including size and power for tight integration with existing bikeshare stations. The machine itself is divided into subsystems, including dispensing, reloading, and return components as well as software and electronics, power, and industrial design choices. The first prototype …

Coordination and composition patterns in the "Curious Robot" scenario
… social HRI. These systems are characterized by a tight integration of interaction and action, and by the need to rapidly iterate designs, particularly the interaction, during research and development. Specifically, the well-known principle of describing action execution with finite-state machines …

Term rewriting with built-in numbers and collection data structures
… serious drawbacks. First, they do not provide a tight integration of natural numbers or integers. Since the pre-defined semantics of these primitive data types cannot be utilized, reasoning about termination of ordinary term rewrite systems operating on numbers is often cumbersome or even …
