• Transition to DC distribution grids 

      Awoniyi, Taiwo (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2017-08-15)
      "The war between AC and DC has emerged once again due to the rapid development and advancement of electric power technologies. Nowadays, power electronics and DC/DC converters are able to change voltage levels, which could only be achieved by an AC transformer hundred years ago. Rising trend development of electric vehicle and renewable energy technology have led to an urgency for re-evaluation of ...
    • Vision-based Robotic Grasping in Simulation using Deep Reinforcement Learning 

      Danielsen, Jostein René (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-05-18)
      This thesis will investigate different robotic manipulation and grasping approaches. It will present an overview of robotic simulation environments, and offer an evaluation of PyBullet, CoppeliaSim, and Gazebo, comparing various features. The thesis further presents a background for current approaches to robotic manipulation and grasping by describing how the robotic movement and grasping can be ...
    • Visual SLAM Approach with a Low-Power Remote Robot Agent 

      Jakobsen, Stian Endrè (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2023-05-15)
      This master’s thesis examines the viability of using a low-performance, low- power-consumption remote robot agent to collect sensor data for use in a vSLAM system. Selections for the components of the robot agent were made based on results from a small initial study, the robot was assembled, and software to run it was created. A remote server application was created to communicate with the robot ...
    • Wind turbine and ice breaking 

      Nilsen, Peter Tor Furseth (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2019-06-28)
      The arctic climate imposes the challenge of ice accretion on the blades of the wind turbine created by the atmospheric ice. Over time, the ice build-up causes ice shedding which can do structural damage to the wind turbine. The process involving ice breaking and shedding is not well understood. This document explains the mechanical properties of ice such as density, coefficient of thermal expansion, ...
    • Wire Gear for Small Rotary Actuator intended for Low Earth Orbit Applications. 

      Aarud, Vebjørn Orre (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2018-08-16)
      In this master thesis, a small rotary actuator with wire driveline intendent for space solutions is developed and tested. The replication of the environment with focus on surface friction, surface roughness, and more dynamical related features are considered. Features like temperature, vibration, radiation and more are excluded to limit the size. This because the field of interest in this iteration ...
    • Working Chair for Physically Disabled Children 

      Larsson, Ludvig (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2019-06-28)
      A product development process was initiated with the purpose of designing a saddle seat working chair for physically disabled children on behalf of Fysionord AB. An objectives tree diagram was made using Mindomo.com. Sub-functions in existing solutions were listed, leading to the discovery of four modules, constituting the working chair: footrest, seat, backrest and undercarriage with wheels. The ...
