This paper describes the procedures that are required to implement, on a conventional mobile robot, a sensor based motion planning algorithm based on the generalized Voronoi graph (GVG). The GVG is a roadmap of a static environment, and we describe how to incrementally construct this roadmap using only range information in an unknown environment. The GVG may then be used to guide future excursions into the explored environment. Experimental results validate the utility of this work.

This paper proposes radial basis function neural networks approach to the Solution of a mobile robot heading adjustment using reinforcement learning. In order to control the heading of the mobile robot, the neural networks control system have been constructed and implemented. Neural controller has been charged to enhance the control system by adding some degrees of strength. It has been achieved that neural networks system can learn the relationship between the desired directional heading and the error posi...
Neural network based beamforming for linear and cylindrical array applications
Güreken, Murat; Dural Ünver, Mevlüde Gülbin; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009)
In this thesis, a Neural Network (NN) based beamforming algorithm is proposed for real time target tracking problem. The algorithm is performed for two applications, linear and cylindrical arrays. The linear array application is implemented with equispaced omnidirectional sources. The influence of the number of antenna elements and the angular seperation between the incoming signals on the performance of the beamformer in the linear array beamformer is studied, and it is observed that the algorithm improves...
Thermal imaging based on mechanical vibrations
Yılmaz, Şener; Azgın, Kıvanç; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2022-8-19)
The thesis proposes a digital, resonance readout method based on a lock-in based digital phase locked loop (DPLL) mechanism, which is designed, simulated, implemented and tested using a Xilinx made Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). Implementation is performed using a hardware descriptive language (VHDL) on low level. Certain digital signal processing algorithms such as lock-in detection, DPLL, DDS and CORDIC are implemented, simulated and tested. Moreover, the design is shown to be capable of resonating...

Distance-based discretization of parametric signal manifolds
Vural, Elif (2010-06-28)
The characterization of signals and images in manifolds often lead to efficient dimensionality reduction algorithms based on manifold distance computation for analysis or classification tasks. We propose in this paper a method for the discretization of signal manifolds given in a parametric form. We present an iterative algorithm for the selection of samples on the manifold that permits to minimize the average error in the manifold distance computation. Experimental results with image appearance manifolds d...
