The Role of Civilian Innovation in the Development of Lethal Autonomous Weapon Systems Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Civilian innovation is often said to be an important facilitator in the development of Lethal Autonomous Weapon Systems (LAWS). This claim is held up as both a reason to ban LAWS urgently, and why a ban would be impractical. But we know little about how this dynamic plays out in practice. Theoretical insights on technology transfer can help to analyse the situation. They suggest that obtaining and utilising the civilian technology is harder than ...
Analysis of minimal clearance and algorithm selection effect on path planning for autonomous systems Ghent University
There are many path planning algorithms in the literature, with different classifications, domains of use, efficiency to find the shortest path or to make a complete coverage of the area to be studied. In the literature, we can also find evaluations of all these algorithms in terms of their performance in the search for the shortest path, execution time and comparisons between them. In this work, twelve algorithms from the literature were ...
Development of optimized autonomous self-healing systems for epoxy materials based on maleimide chemistry Ghent University
Consistent estimation of autonomous linear time-invariant systems from multiple experiments Vrije Universiteit Brussel KU Leuven
Operational modal analysis from impulse response data can alternatively be viewed as an identification of a stable autonomous linear time-invariant system. For example, earthquake response data of civil engineering structures and impulsive excitation of bridges leads to this problem. Identification from a single experiment, however, does not yield a consistent estimator in the output error setting due to the exponential decay of the noise-free ...
Realization and identification of autonomous linear periodically time-varying systems Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Subsampling of a linear periodically time-varying system results in a collection of linear time-invariant systems with common poles. This key fact, known as ``lifting'', is used in a two step realization method. The first step is the realization of the time-invariant dynamics (the lifted system). Computationally, this step is a rank-revealing factorization of a block-Hankel matrix. The second step derives a state space representation of the ...
Autonomous linear lossless systems Ghent University
A multimodal AI approach for intuitively instructable autonomous systems University of Antwerp
In current production shop floors, a fleet of production machines and AGVs form a full manufacturing system with a high degree of automation. These current manufacturing systems need to deal with high variability of products and production tasks. Every task, however, requires a proper reconfiguration & control that is often done manually requiring complex settings and long configuration time. With AI techniques the reconfiguration of these ...
