Towards haptic intelligence in robots by learning from demonstration by Turlapati Sri Harsha

“…In the first part of this thesis, we build on this latter idea of performing haptic exploration of surfaces with a focus on extracting the geometry of fine features. We propose a novel quantity, haptic mismatch that identifies and refines missing geometric features based on the discrepancy in force feedback from actual interactions with an object. …”

Uncertainty quantification framework for combined statistical spatial downscaling and temporal disaggregation for climate change impact studies on hydrology by Rajendran Queen Suraajini

“…Thus, the strategies to assist future adaption planning and risk mitigation during extreme flood events need to be developed based on the predicted future climate conditions. Fine spatial and temporal resolutions in climate data are needed to simulate the change in future flood events and to study the climate change impact on hydrology. …”

Energy storage management for renewable energy systems by Feng, Xue

“…The device models including the dynamic battery model proposed are incorporated in the system simulations. A fine-grained intelligent control strategy with multiple operation modes is designed to distribute the power demand between the batteries and the ultracapacitors considering the real time power mismatches. …”
