  1. 6. OMNIDIRECTIONAL OBJECT DETECTION AND TRACKING, FOR AN AUTONOMOUS SAILBOAT

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

    Author : Edvin Asmussen; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : MDU, in collaboration with several other universities, plans to join the World Robotic Sailing Championship (WRSC), where in certain sub-challenges some object detection is necessary. Such as for detecting objects such as boats, buoys, and possibly other items. READ MORE

  3. 7. Non-Disposable and Reusable Solar Sails for Transporting Sunshades to the L1' Point

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Jörgen Smit; Thomas Östervall; [2023]
    Keywords : Sunshade Project; L1; Solar sailing;

    Abstract : This study evaluates the feasibility of reusing lightweight solar sails in order to transport 1.69 * 10^6 sunshades, made out of occulting membranes with free-standing SiO2 nanotube films, to the adjusted sun-Earth Lagrange point, L1'. READ MORE

  4. 8. Conform with the Wind : Processing short-term ensemble forecasts with conformal based methods for probabilistic wind-speed forecasting

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Simon Althoff; [2023]
    Keywords : wind-speed; probabilistic; forecasts; forecasting; ensemble; post-processing; conformal prediction; conformal predictive systems; quantile regression forest; non-exchangeable; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : Forecasting wind has always been an interesting subject, and as large parts of the world are relying more on wind for power production it is becoming even more important to have reliable forecasts. Probabilistic forecasts, where distributions are predicted in contrast to deterministic forecasts, are impor- tant for informed decision making. READ MORE

  5. 9. Traditional sailing ships in international waters : -A transnational cultural heritage

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Kulturvård

    Author : Elin Synnøve K. Swärd; [2023]
    Keywords : Sailing ships; authorised heritage discourse; maritime heritage; Sjöfart; kulturvård; authorised heritage discourse; segelfartyg;

    Abstract : Traditional sailing ships, as opposed to vernacular boats, evolved to consist of certain types of vessels that couldbe produced in the same way in different countries and were also sold between countries. They were usuallyengaged in longer voyages which often resulted in an international crew. READ MORE

  6. 10. Consensus Algorithm with Input Constraints and Collision Avoidance for Swarming Sunshade Satellites near the L1 point

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner, marina system, flyg- och rymdteknik, rörelsemekanik

    Author : Felicia Törning; [2022]
    Keywords : Consensus algorithm; Formation control; Multi agent system; Solar sailing; Space based geoengineering; Konsensusalgoritm; Formationskontroll; multiagent system; solsegel;

    Abstract : Swarm Control Theory studies how multi-agent systems interact to solve tasks cooperatively. In this thesis it was studied how graph theory and the Dynamic Average Consensus Algorithm can be used to control swarming sunshade satellites near L1 for global temperature control, and if it would be suitable for the purpose.
