1 Van der Merwe, MarkLearning 3D Reconstructions for Geometrically aware Robotic GraspingRobotic grasping is a crucial subtask of many important robotic applications, such as in-home robotic assistance, emergency responce robots, and industrial robotics. Deep learning has enabled remarkable improvements in robotic grasp synthesis for previously unseen objects from partial object views. ...2020
2 Bull, Auguest JohnRobotic Grasp Control Using Tactile FeedbackAs we move towards more autonomous robots, object interaction and manipulation remains difficult for robots. Grasping approaches vary from learning-based to traditional control means, each with their own challenges. Learning-based methods perform well on specific tasks, but struggle to move to other...2020
3 Robe, John WilliamThe Design and Implementation of Autonomous Robotic SystemsThis research focuses on the development of an autonomous robotic system using Robot Operating System (ROS), with the purpose of competing in the NASA Robotic Mining Competition in collaboration with the Utah Robotic Mining Project team. While completing this research, the following discoveries were...2017
4 Zubair, JonathanDesign and Implementation of a Shrouded Rotor for Uncreasing Quadrotor PerformanceQuadrotors have come to serve myriad purposes and have seen use as platforms for diverse activities including videography and remote sensing. These versatile aircraft, however, cannot remain in flight for extended periods of time. This is due to several factors including the aerodynamic regime in wh...2017
5 Veenema, ArthurThe original: A process of producing a short filmThe thematic goal of my short film The Original was to explore the blurred nature between reality and artificiality that arises from emerging technology. The Original questions an individual's place amongst the simulated realities that have come to compose our world. The concepts behind my script we...Motion pictures -- Production and direction2014-12
6 Kapetanovic, StefanNon-Anthropomorhic Deep Learning: Developing the "Eyes for the Internet of Things"Deep Learning (DL) and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have been established as a powerful class of models for image recognition problems. Encouraged by this, we implemented a system that can accurately predict handwritten numbers from a raw CMOS machine image. Current forms of deep learning do...2017
7 Freckleton, K. BeauSarrus-based passive mechanism for rotorcraft perchings: Structural design and mass optimizationCurrent quad-rotors provide excellent maneuverability and opportunity for data collection in large scale areas such as agriculture, but lack the capability to maintain flight for an extended period of time. This is primarily due to a lack of energy supply, requiring operators to replace the battery ...Drone aircraft; Drone aircraft -- Control systems; Sarrus2014-12
8 Russell, SloanChanging brand perception: Changing university students' attitude toward a company and enabling a talented recruiting poolStudents often participate in internships to gain real-world experience before entering the workforce. This proves beneficial to students, allowing them to apply the skills they learned via higher education and develop problem-solving abilities, while employers find internships allow them to recruit...Business education (Internship); Marketing2015-04
9 Keller, JacksonDesigning for Interactivity: the Camera in 3D Video GamesThis paper analyzes the effect that camera control has on art, design, and player experience in 3D video games. It will specifically explore the implications of various methods of camera control that have emerged during the brief history of 3D games: the first and third-person perspectives, fixed an...2019
10 Heman, ClaireIntersectionsThis creative thesis explores the intersections of identity, gender, and sexuality, relevant topics in our times of binary gender roles and pervasive heteronormative social structures. This thesis is divided into two parts: 1) an introductory essay to place the creative work in an existing conversat...Gender identity in literature; Sexual orientation in literature2015-08
11 Bracken, KallieDefining learning: mystifying machine learning as a powerful tool in a data-driven worldUntil recently, the driving paradigm in software engineering has been to design applications for a predefined set of tasks. This approach, however, is quickly being dwarfed by data-driven applications which are designed to use knowledge and understanding to decide how they can best fulfill use...Machine learning - Case studies; Machine learning - Study and Teaching; Machine Learning - Technique2016-04
