Automated Rehabilitation Exercise Motion Tracking
(University of Waterloo, 2013-01-10)Current physiotherapy practice relies on visual observation of the patient for diagnosis and assessment. The assessment process can potentially be automated to improve accuracy and reliability. This thesis proposes a method ... -
Electrochemical-Thermal Modeling of Lithium-ion Batteries
(University of Waterloo, 2016-05-17)Incorporating lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries as an energy storage system in electric devices including electric vehicles brings about new challenges. In fact, the design of Li-ion batteries has to be optimized depending ... -
Estimation and Control of Dynamical Systems with Applications to Multi-Processor Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2016-08-23)System and control theory is playing an increasingly important role in the design and analysis of computing systems. This thesis investigates a set of estimation and control problems that are driven by new challenges ... -
Informative Path Planning and Sensor Scheduling for Persistent Monitoring Tasks
(University of Waterloo, 2013-09-24)In this thesis we consider two combinatorial optimization problems that relate to the field of persistent monitoring. In the first part, we extend the classic problem of finding the maximum weight Hamiltonian cycle in ... -
Intelligent Fastening Tool Tracking Systems Using Hybrid Remote Sensing Technologies
(University of Waterloo, 2010-05-21)This research focuses on the development of intelligent fastening tool tracking systems for the automotive industry to identify the fastened bolts. In order to accomplish such a task, the position of the tool tip must be ...
