• Development and Control of a Low Cost Solar Powered Autonomous Surface Vessel for Water Quality Investigation and Monitoring 

      Radicke, Jan-Philip (Master thesis, 2023)
      This thesis presents an unmanned surface vessel (USV) which was designed with the goal of providing a low-cost, highly accessible, and autonomous platform for water quality inspection and monitoring in coastal areas and ...
    • Effects of compliant and structural parts in evolved modular robots 

      Norstein, Emma Stensby; Veenstra, Frank; Ellefsen, Kai Olav; Nygaard, Tønnes; Glette, Kyrre (Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2023)
      A striking difference between animals and traditional robots is that the latter usually have rigid and non-flexible bodies. Animals, on the other hand, exhibit highly adapted traits, such as elastic tendons. The tendons ...
    • Evolution of linkages for prototyping of linkage based robots 

      Norstein, Emma Stensby; Ellefsen, Kai Olav; Veenstra, Frank; Nygaard, Tønnes; Glette, Kyrre (IEEE Symposium Series on Computational Intelligence (SSCI);, Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2023)
      Prototyping robotic systems is a time consuming process. Computer aided design, however, might speed up the process significantly. Quality-diversity evolutionary approaches optimise for novelty as well as performance, and ...
