Droop control is used for power management in DC grids. Based on the level of the DC grid voltage, the amount of power regulated to or from the appliance is regulated such, that power management is possible. The Universal 4 Leg is a laboratory setup for studying the functionality of a grid manager for …

Autonomous robots require high degrees of cognitive and motoric intelligence to come into our everyday life. In non-structured environments and in the presence of uncertainties, such degrees of intelligence are not easy to obtain. Reinforcement learning algorithms have proven to be capable of solving …

The research focuses on creating a possible technique which would allow a 2D character to interact with the 3D light while preserving the 2D aspect of it. I researched on EbSynth (style-transferring tool) and Blender as possible software which could help me create the new lighting approach. Normal maps …

This thesis covers the development process of a realistic representation of a news item in VR. Additionally, the thesis aims to test whether this technology can generate empathic feedback in young adults from 20 to 30 years old. Another purpose is to make recommendations for future developers who are …

The design research described in this report was conducted as part of the Catwalk: Forces of Nature exhibition that is part of Textiel Festival Twente, an outdoor art exhibition centered around textiles. This specific project was based on the concept of connecting in a disconnected world and providing …

Light therapy for older persons with dementia is often administered with light boxes, even though indoor ambient light may more comfortably support the diverse lighting needs of this population. Our objective is to investigate the influence of indoor daylight and lighting on the health of older adults …

Light enables us to see and perceive our environment but it also initiates effects beyond vision, such as alertness. Literature describes that at least six factors are relevant for initiating effects beyond vision. The exact relationship between these factors and alertness is not yet fully understood. …
