• Effect Of Cross-sectional Nonlinearities On Anisotropic Strip-based Mechanisms 

      Pollayi, Hemaraju (2013-05-28)
      The goal of this work is to develop and demonstrate a comprehensive analysis of single and multi-body composite strip-beam systems using an asymptotically-correct geometrically nonlinear theory. The comprehensiveness ...
    • Multi-agent Consensus Using Generalized Cyclic Pursuit Strategies 

      Sinha, Arpita (2009-05-11)
      One of the main focus of research on multi-agent systems is that of coordination in a group of agents to solve problems that are beyond the capability of a single agent. Each agent in the multi-agent system has limited ...
    • Multi-Agent Positional Consensus Under Various Information Paradigms 

      Das, Kaushik (2017-02-22)
      This thesis addresses the problem of positional consensus of multi-agent systems. A positional consensus is achieved when the agents converge to a point. Some applications of this class of problem is in mid-air refueling ...
    • Odor Source Localization Using Swarm Robotics 

      Thomas, Joseph (2010-06-02)
      Locating an odor source in a turbulent environment, an instinctive behavior of insects such as moths, is a nontrivial task in robotics. Robots equipped with odor sensors find it difficult to locate the odor source due to the ...
