This thesis will explore interaction between non-supervised machinelearning agents, with a focus on traffic situations. We intend to showthat self-interested agents can arrive at mutually beneficial strategiesaccording to general game theory, achieving pure or mixed Nash equi-libria, and that this has practical applications for unmanned vehicles.We will start by verifying against simple one stage ...

"This report describes phase I of the project ""Design of an expandable junk catcher"", which is carried out on behalf of Qinterra Technologies, Department of Plugs & Packers in Narvik, as a part of the subject SHO6263 Diploma thesis M-ID. The main purpose of the project is to develop a new type of well intervention equipment to solve the problem of unwanted residue from debris on temporary installed ...

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, ...

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 ...

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate whether or not it is possible to perform automatic verification of UI Tests using Neural Networks. The problem being looked at is variance tied to the operating system, graphics card, or other hardware. This can cause false positives during UI testing, and thus we wanted to find a solution that could learn to ignore this, while still verifying the result. ...

This thesis presents a general model to estimate the number of people at office spaces in the given time step. This project represents the description of the several approaches for similar problems, general description of statistical and machine learning models and applying those models for specific building. This work is also cover some suggested dashboards to keep track of space usage. The flowing ...

Falls of elderly people are big health burden, especially for long-term consequence. Yet we already have research, describing how exactly elderly fall and reasons of falls. We aimed to develop means that could not only detect falls and send alerts to relatives and doctors to conquer one of the biggest fears of elderly to fall and do not have the ability to call for help, but also tried to implement ...

This thesis presents an overview of the different types of hybrid electric vehicle structures and basic guidelines regarding choice of components. The simulation model of a hybrid electric vehicle was created for this thesis to investigate the impact on fuel efficiency in relation to rolling resistance coefficient and vehicle weight. Although the model is not designed for optimal engine operation, ...

Abstract Modern power systems need more intelligence and flexibility to maintain and control a generation load balance from subsequent serious disturbances due to the emerging of more renewable energy sources. This problem is becoming more significant today because of the increasing number of micro-grids (MGs). MGs usually use renewable energies in electrical production those fluctuate naturally. ...

In this thesis, the designing of a grid-connected photovoltaic system for the power electronic laboratory of UiT- Campus Narvik has been carried out. The relevant topics and literature regarding the elements in a photovoltaic system and grid connection standards have been studied and reviewed. A system with the capacity and ratings of solar modules currently available has been designed in Simulink. ...
