A comparison of the Kalman filter and recurrent neural networks for state estimation of dynamical systems
(University of Waterloo, 2023-08-30)The study of dynamical systems is of great interest in many fields, with a wide range of applications. In some cases, these dynamical systems may be affected by noise and the availability of measurements may be limited. ... -
Estimation for Linear and Semi-linear Infinite-dimensional Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2019-05-21)Estimating the state of a system that is not fully known or that is exposed to noise has been an intensely studied problem in recent mathematical history. Such systems are often modelled by either ordinary differential ... -
Infinite-dimensional Kalman Filtering and Sensor Placement Problem
(University of Waterloo, 2016-08-03)One of the central problems in engineering is to estimate the state of a stochastic dynamic system from limited noisy measurements. A Kalman filter is commonly used for state estimation, which produces an unbiased optimal ... -
Kalman Filter Based Sensor Placement For Burgers Equation
(University of Waterloo, 2019-06-03)The algorithm used for determining sensor placement in this thesis will be based on the Kalman filter. This filter is very famous and its application are numerous - some examples include aircraft navigation, finance and ... -
Lithium-Ion battery SOC estimation
(University of Waterloo, 2017-01-23)Lithium-ion batteries are frequently used in Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), which are taking the place of gas-engine vehicles. An important but not measurable quantity in HEVs is the amount of charge remaining in the ... -
Optimal Actuator Design for Nonlinear Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-24)For systems modeled by partial differential equations (PDE's), the location and shape of the actuators can be regarded as a design variable and included as part of the controller synthesis procedure. Optimal actuator ... -
Optimal Locations of Sensors and Actuators for Control of a Pedestrian Bridge
(University of Waterloo, 2021-12-22)Lightweight structures have been increasing in popularity in structural designs. However, they are more prone to disturbances. Therefore, a controller device can be placed on the structure to control the excessive vibrations. ... -
Optimal trajectory calculation using neural networks
(University of Waterloo, 2024-01-08)Optimal control methods for linear systems have reached a substantial level of maturity, both in terms of conceptual understanding and scalable computational implementation. For non-linear systems, an open-loop feedback ... -
Road Surface Estimation Using Machine Learning
(University of Waterloo, 2023-01-19)Vehicle motion control systems are present on commercial vehicles to improve safety and driving comfort. Many of these control systems could be further improved given accurate online information about the road condition ...
