The use of Active Matter (AM) concepts in robotics so as to model collective motion has become very prevalent, with Active Elastic Sheet (AES) models being the most recent ones. In this thesis, anticipation and inertial effects are introduced as the modifying AES parameters prior to multiple allocation studies. It is shown that anticipation behaves similar to damping under certain conditions, and inertial effects introduce a dynamical relaxation equivalent to a proportional velocity controller. Since velocities cannot instantly reach desired values due to the proportional gain, agents respond as if they have inertias. Rotational inertia is also investigated as the interception of instant alignment change apart from mass effects along the velocity vector. Reduced active matter models that utilizes two-particle versions of AES are developed in the pursuit of simpler representations for multi-agent systems. Toy models with both anticipation and inertial effects promise better preliminary studies for swarm robotics applications as they become more and more complex. A multi-agent simulator is built and several scenarios are functionalized in order to assess performance of toy models by comparison. Metrics such as damping ratio and agent separation are studied to discover behavioural similarities between reduced and full models. Such similarities could enable simpler parameter tuning procedures applied on reduced toy models by extrapolating to multi-agent systems more practically. All experiments focus on tuning of anticipation as the control parameter for which order-disorder transition comparisons are carried out in order to understand its gradual effect. The relation between mass included analytical AM models and engineering controllers is justified with reduced versions of AES and phase transition studies under the measure of polarization.

Modeling of activated sludge process by using artificial neural networks
Moral, Hakan; Gökçay, Celal Ferdi; Department of Environmental Engineering (2004)
Current activated sludge models are deterministic in character and are constructed by basing on the fundamental biokinetics. However, calibrating these models are extremely time consuming and laborious. An easy-to-calibrate and user friendly computer model, one of the artificial intelligence techniques, Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) were used in this study. These models can be used not only directly as a substitute for deterministic models but also can be plugged into the system as error predictors. Thr...
Interaction network effects on position- and velocity-based models of collective motion
Turgut, Ali Emre; Okay, Ilkin Ege; Ferrante, Eliseo; Huepe, Cristian (The Royal Society, 2020-08-01)
We study how the structure of the interaction network affects self-organized collective motion in two minimal models of self-propelled agents: the Vicsek model and the Active-Elastic (AE) model. We perform simulations with topologies that interpolate between a nearest-neighbour network and random networks with different degree distributions to analyse the relationship between the interaction topology and the resilience to noise of the ordered state. For the Vicsek case, we find that a higher fraction of ran...
Assessment of Simulated Ground Motions in Earthquake Engineering Practice: A Case Study for Duzce (Turkey)
Karim Zadeh Naghshineh, Shaghayegh; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Yakut, Ahmet (2015-11-20)
Simulated ground motions can be used in structural and earthquake engineering practice as an alternative to or to augment the real ground motion data sets. Common engineering applications of simulated motions are linear and nonlinear time history analyses of building structures, where full acceleration records are necessary. Before using simulated ground motions in such applications, it is important to assess those in terms of their frequency and amplitude content as well as their match with the correspondi...
Robust estimation in multiple linear regression model with non-Gaussian noise
Akkaya, Ayşen (2008-02-01)
The traditional least squares estimators used in multiple linear regression model are very sensitive to design anomalies. To rectify the situation we propose a reparametrization of the model. We derive modified maximum likelihood estimators and show that they are robust and considerably more efficient than the least squares estimators besides being insensitive to moderate design anomalies.
Motion control of constrained systems considering their actuation-related singular configurations
Özgören, Mustafa Kemal (2001-01-01)
In this paper, the constrained motion control of a normally unconstrained mechanical system is investigated. As far as its motion control is concerned, such a system will have a redundancy in its actuators due to the reduction caused in its number of degrees of freedom by the presence of the constraints. Four methods are described in order to determine the actuator and constraint forces. The first three of these methods necessitate using all the actuators and the fourth method is applicable in a case where ...
