(2007-07-26)Department: Electrical EngineeringAutonomous robots are intelligent machines capable of performing tasks in the real world without explicit human control for extended periods of time. A high degree of autonomy is particularly desirable in fields where ...
-
(2011-04-07)Department: Electrical EngineeringSuicide is a major public health problem in the US. The procedure to measure the degree of suicidal risk in depressed patients is complicated and time consuming. Therefore, there is a need to develop a diagnostic tool to ...
-
(2008-06-19)Department: Electrical EngineeringThis work will focus on giving a perceptual system the ability to detect changes while maintaining its understanding of the environment. Most change detection systems can only perceive the change in the environment. They ...
-
(2023-11-15)Department: Computer ScienceAutonomous vehicles represent a transformative innovation poised to reshape transportation and mobility. As this emerging technology matures, researchers must critically evaluate the aptitude of artificial intelligence ...
-
(2008-04-07)Department: Electrical EngineeringAs robots become more complex it becomes necessary to create more effective methods of imparting them with knowledge. One area where complexities are apparent is in learning to manipulate. Vanderbilt University’s Intelligent ...
-
(2009-04-09)Department: Electrical EngineeringReal-time search techniques have been used extensively in the areas of task planning and decision making. In order to be effective, however, these techniques require task-specific domain knowledge in the form of heuristic ...
-
(2019-05-23)Department: Civil EngineeringEngineering systems following disruptive events usually experience abrupt performance degradation over time. How to mitigate the disastrous effect of unanticipated events and restore the performance of the system to the ...
-
(2019-03-18)Department: Electrical EngineeringCochlear Implants (CIs) are neural prosthetics that are used to treat patients with profound hearing loss. In surgery, an electrode array is threaded into the cochlea. Post-operatively, the CI needs to be programmed. In ...
-
(2021-08-09)Department: Electrical EngineeringThis dissertation introduces several innovative machine learning-based techniques for medical image registration and segmentation and a technique for patient-customized placement of cochlear implant electrodes. We have ...
-
(2023-11-16)Department: Computer ScienceCochlear implants (CIs) use an array of electrodes implanted in the cochlea to directly stimulate the auditory nerve. After CI surgery, patients typically need several appointments with an audiologist over the following ...
