Accelerated computational modeling of ballistic helmet test protocols
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
In modern combat, helmets play a vital role in protecting the head. Before being delivered to the soldier, combat helmets undergo a series of tests to determine their threat mitigation performance. During ballistic testing, ...
Active policy querying for dynamic human-robot collaboration tasks
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021)
Success in any group task is dependent upon mutual understanding between the collaborators. Team members can use observation to infer their partner's plans, but such an approach carries great uncertainty and requires passive ...
A certified reduced basis approach to PDE-constrained optimization
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
Parameter optimization problems constrained by partial differential equations (PDEs) appear in many science and engineering applications. The PDE usually describes the underlying system or component behavior, while the ...
Toward optimal motion planning for dynamic robots : applications on-orbit
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
Robotic motion planning is a well-studied field at the intersection of optimal control, artificial intelligence, and applied mechanics. Methods for robots without dynamics are well-studied and are often practical for ...
Characterization of inertial measurement unit placement on the human body upon repeated donnings
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)
Given projections of an increase in the number of consumers wearing sensors in the upcoming years coupled with NASA's technological roadmap for future human space exploration, there is a need to understand and appropriately ...
