Examining the Adverse Effects of Limb Position on PatternRecognition Based Myoelectric Control
(;5627638, Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010)Pattern recognition of myoelectric signals for the control of prosthetic devices has been widely reported and debated. A large portion of the literature focuses on offline classification accuracy of pre-recorded signals. ... -
Explicit Model Predictive Control for Higher Order Systems
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2019:37, Doctoral thesis, 2019)The idea of viewing an optimal control problem as a parametric program has introduced new areas of use for control schemes such as Model Predictive Control (MPC). Some classes of multi-parametric programs have the desirable ... -
Extremum-seeking control: convergence improvements and asymptotic stability
(Doctoral thesis at NTNU;2016:167, Doctoral thesis, 2016)Extremum-seeking control is an adaptive-control methodology that optimizes the steady-state performance of dynamical plants by automated tuning of plant parameters based on measurements. The main advantage of extremum-seeking ... -

Fish on net: Acoustic Doppler telemetry and remote monitoring of individual fish in aquaculture
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2021:259, Doctoral thesis, 2021)The two main contributions of this thesis are the Internet of Fish (IoF) concept and a novel fish swimming speed measurement principle. The IoF concept is a reliable communication protocol which could relay acoustic telemetry ... -
Globally Stable Observers for Simultaneous Localization and Mapping
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2019:349, Doctoral thesis, 2019)This thesis focuses on developing observers that can be applied to simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), with an emphasis on developing observers that has theoretical proof of convergence. The motivation for this ... -
Guidance and Control of Robot Manipulators and Autonomous Marine Robots
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2016:322, Doctoral thesis, 2016)This thesis is motivated by the increasing use of robots within numerous fields and in a vast range of applications. The use of robots provides several advantages, e.g. reduced labor costs, increased production and ... -
High-performance Industrial Embedded Model Predictive Control: Efficient implementation of step response models and fast solvers
(Doctoral thesis at NTNU;2016:157, Doctoral thesis, 2016)The implementation of embedded Model Predictive Control (MPC) is treated in this thesis with focus on new and challenging applications such as subsea production and processing. The current technology for MPC in the ... -
Hyperspectral Remote Sensing Instrument design, field campaigns and data analysis
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2021:225, Doctoral thesis, 2021)Hyperspectral remote sensing is still a young field of research, but with a lot of interest, justified by its promising ability to detect and quantify targets. Recent developments in camera technology and single-board ... -
Implantable sensing technologies for monitoring of behavioural and physiological dynamics in farmed Atlantic salmon
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2023:339, Doctoral thesis, 2023)Atlantic salmon aquaculture is a major food industry with 1.5 million tonnes produced for worldwide consumption in 2022. However, in Norway during the same year, current farming methods resulted in a 17.1% mortality rate ... -
Inflight Estimation of Airflow Variables, Wind Velocities and Aerodynamic Coefficients for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2018:349, Doctoral thesis, 2018)This thesis focuses on the estimation of wind velocities, angle of attack and aerodynamic coefficients for small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and in addition, the use of these estimates for two different applications. ... -
Joint Multisensor Fusion and Tracking Using Distributed Radars
(Doctoral thesis at NTNU;2016:36, Doctoral thesis, 2016)This thesis deals with multisensor fusion in the presence of systematic errors in the context of target tracking. A typical target tracking problem consists of multiple sensors producing position measurements of multiple ... -
Kick & Loss Detection and Estimation using Distributed Models
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2020:233, Doctoral thesis, 2020)A kick in oil and gas drilling is an unwanted, unexpected leak of oil and gas from the reservoir into the well-bore. This can happen when the surrounding formation pore pressure exceeds the well-bore pressure. A loss of ... -
Learning for Model Predictive Control
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2023:261, Doctoral thesis, 2023)This thesis focuses on learning-based control, with an emphasis on control designs for which we can analyze stability and robustness properties. The topic is motivated by the lack of available controllers for complex, ... -
