• FAULT DETECTION FRAMEWORK FOR IMBALANCED AND SPARSELY-LABELED DATA SETS USING SELF-ORGANIZING MAPS 

  Shah, Rushit (2018)

  While machine learning techniques developed for fault detection usually assume that the classes in the training data are balanced, in real-world applications, this is seldom the case. These techniques also usually require ...

• Demonstrating Cognition by Task Execution and Motion Planning with different algorithms for Manipulation 

  DIMITRIADIS, DIMITRIOS (2018)

  In this Thesis we demonstrate the whole path until the manipulation and the planning of the Baxter Robot. We start by analyzing the kinematic analysis of a six degrees of freedom robot. We build our analysis starting from ...
