Time Optimal Control of Mechatronic Systems Through Embedded Optimization (Tijdsoptimale controle van mechatronische systemen door middel van ingebedde optimalisatie) KU Leuven
In all levels of society, a lot of effort is put in the optimal use of resources as e.g.energy, labor and time. Resource optimization is also important in the control ofmechatronic systems. For these applications, typically either the required time orthe energy consumption to perform an action is minimized. This thesis developscontrollers which aim to minimize the time required to perform a point-to-pointmotion, i.e. the settling time of the ...
A library of embedded platform components for the simulation of real-time embedded systems University of Antwerp
When modeling the control algorithm(s) of a Cyber-Physical System, control engineers evaluate if its behavior satisfies the specifications by executing a Model-in-the-Loop simulation. However, often the deployment of a control algorithm on an embedded system affects its behavior. Tools exist that include these deployment effects in the Model-in-the-Loop simulation. However, they require engineers to significantly modify existing control models ...
An Elixir Library for Programming Concurrent and Distributed Embedded Systems Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Development of embedded systems has been receiving in last decade a considerable attention for both academy and industry. Advances in hardware miniaturization, in particular, single-boards computers like Raspberry Pi, Beaglebone Black, allow for the use of high-level programming languages. Still, the greatest challenges when developing IoT applications are distribution and coordination. To date, mainstream languages (e.g. Java, JavaScript, ...
Teaching skills and concepts for embedded systems design Ghent University
Smart devices are omnipresent today and the design of these embedded systems requires a multidisciplinary approach. It is important that students in electrical engineering and computer science learn these different aspects of embedded systems design. Our course on Complex Systems Design Methodology presents an overview of embedded systems design with a strong focus on the main concepts, preparing the students for more detailed follow-up courses ...
Towards a complementary balanced energy harvesting solution for low power embedded systems Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The specific technical challenges associated with the design of an ambient energy powered electronic system currently requires thorough knowledge of the environment of deployment, energy harvester characteristics and power path management. In this work, a novel flexible model for ambient energy harvesters is presented that allows decoupling of the harvester's physical principles and electrical behavior using a three dimensional function. The ...
SecureTechniques for Remote Reconfiguration of Wireless Embedded Systems Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The aim of this chapter is to give a thorough overview of secure remote reconfiguration technologies for
wireless embedded systems, and of the communication standard commonly used in those systems. In
particular, we focus on basic security mechanisms both at hardware and protocol level. We will discuss
the possible threats and their corresponding impact level. Different countermeasures for avoiding these
security issues are ...

Evaluation of Classical Machine Learning Techniques towards Urban Sound Recognition on Embedded Systems Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Automatic urban sound classification is a desirable capability for urban monitoring systems, allowing real-time monitoring of urban environments and recognition of events.
Current embedded systems provide enough computational power to perform real-time urban audio recognition.
Using such devices for the edge computation when acting as nodes of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) drastically alleviates the required bandwidth consumption. ...

Hard real-time multibody simulations using ARM-based embedded systems KU Leuven
© 2016, Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht. The real-time simulation of multibody models on embedded systems is of particular interest for controllers and observers such as model predictive controllers and state observers, which rely on a dynamic model of the process and are customarily executed in electronic control units. This work first identifies the software techniques and tools required to easily write efficient code for multibody ...
