Active Designs for Movement in Early Childhood Environments
Sevimli Çelik, Serap (2018-01-01)
One of the preeminent aspects of the early years is movement. Young children use movement to explore their environment, practice physical skills, and interact with people and objects around them. Through movement, children also develop active and healthy bodies, which may significantly affect their quality of life in later years. The indoor and outdoor environments in early childhood settings facilitate opportunities to move and play. It is therefore essential to design appropriate environments that would a...
Active flow control studies over an elliptical profile
Erler, Engin; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2008)
Active flow control by a jet over a 12.5% thick elliptic profile is investigated numerically. Unsteady flowfields are calculated with a Navier Stokes solver. The numerical method is first validated without the jet and with the presence of steady-blowing and pulsating jets. Three jet types, namely steady, pulsating and synthetic jets, are next compared with each other and it is shown that the most drag reduction is achieved by a synthetic jet and the most lift enhancement is achieved by a steady jet. The inf...
ACTIVE LEARNING BASED SYNTHETIC SAMPLE SELECTION FOR ENDOSCOPIC IMAGE CLASSIFICATION
İnci, Alperen; Temizel, Alptekin; Department of Modeling and Simulation (2022-9-2)
Many people suffer from Ulcerative Colitis (UC), which is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease. UC exhibits itself as ulcers, inflammation, and sores in the colon. In order to provide proper treatment, an expert physician needs to assess the severity of the disease. However, physicians have disagreements on the severity of the disease in terms of the widely used Mayo scoring. This brings in the need for reliable and au- tomated methods. Even though automated disease diagnosis using medical imaging has becom...
Collective gradient perception with a flying robot swarm
Karaguzel, Tugay Alperen; Turgut, Ali Emre; Eiben, A. E.; Ferrante, Eliseo (2022-10-01)
In this paper, we study the problem of collective and emergent sensing with a flying robot swarm in which social interactions among individuals lead to following the gradient of a scalar field in the environment without the need of any gradient sensing capability. We proposed two methods-desired distance modulation and speed modulation-with and without alignment control. In the former, individuals modulate their desired distance to their neighbors and in the latter, they modulate their speed depending on th...
Reactive Footstep Planning for a Planar Spring Mass Hopper
Arslan, Omur; Saranlı, Uluç; Morgul, Omer (2009-10-15)
The main driving force behind research on legged robots has always been their potential for high performance locomotion on rough terrain and the outdoors. Nevertheless, most existing control algorithms for such robots either make rigid assumptions about their environments (e.g flat ground), or rely on kinematic planning at low speeds. Moreover, the traditional separation of planning from control often has negative impact on the robustness of the system against model uncertainty and environment noise. In thi...
