  1. 1. Navigation with variable point of reference for 3DOF differential drive mobile robot

    University essay from Mälardalens högskola/Akademin för innovation, design och teknik

    Author : Adlerteg Casper; Sen Adem; [2021]
    Keywords : differential drive robot;

    Abstract : In this thesis, a kinematic model for controlling an Omni-directional 3 DOF DDR with an external navigation point is presented. Two different dynamic models for investigating the resulting torque on the three active motors on the robot are also developed and validated. READ MORE

  3. 2. Evaluating the Practicality of Using a Kronecker-Factored Approximate Curvature Matrix in Newton's Method for Optimization in Neural Networks

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Magnus Tornstad; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : For a long time, second-order optimization methods have been regarded as computationally inefficient and intractable for solving the optimization problem associated with deep learning. However, proposed in recent research is an adaptation of Newton's method for optimization in which the Hessian is approximated by a Kronecker-factored approximate curvature matrix, known as KFAC.

  4. 3. Suturing in Surgical Simulations

    University essay from KTH/Numerisk analys, NA

    Author : Kiran Beersing-Vasquez; [2019]
    Keywords : Surgical suturing; spline model; Lagrange constraints; multibody dynamics; differential algebraic equations; Kirurgisk suturering; spline-modell; Lagrange-begränsningar; multikroppsdynamik; differentiella algebraiska ekvationer;

    Abstract : The goal of this project is to develop virtual surgical simulation software in order to simulate the suturing and knot tying processes associated with surgical thread. State equations are formulated using Lagrangian mechanics, which is useful for the conservation of energy. READ MORE

  5. 4. Non-linear Curve Fitting

    University essay from Mälardalens högskola/Akademin för utbildning, kultur och kommunikation

    Author : Farhad Morad; [2019]
    Keywords : Curve Fitting; Power-exponential function; Gauss-Newton algorithm; Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm; Linear and non-linear curve fitting; Kurvanpassning; Potens-exponential funktion; Gauss-Newton-algoritm; Levenberg-Marquardt-algoritm; Linjär och ickelinjär kurvanpassning;

    Abstract : The work done in this thesis is to examine various methods for curve fitting. Linear least squares and non-linear least squares will be described and compared, and the Newton method, Gauss--Newton method and Levenberg--Marquardt method will be applied to example problems. ..

  6. 5. Discovery of Neptune

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Gustav Eriksson; Kevin Garcia Martin; [2018]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This project is an analysis of how a planet can be found in space with the aid of mathematics. This is based on the fact that in the 19th century two mathematicians John C. READ MORE
