Deep reinforcement learning as control method for autonomous UAVs
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2018-02-06)
Master thesis
Open AccessDeep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) is attracting increasing interest due to its ability to learn how to solve complex tasks in an unknown environment solely by gathering experience. In this thesis, we investigate the use ... -
Introducing required times of arrival to pre-defined routes to enhance sequencing and merging in terminal airspace: A case study for Frankfurt airport PSA25N arrival route
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2017-10-31)
Master thesis
Open AccessThis thesis presented a new option for the Air Traffic Controllers (ATC) to better handle the traffic in congested Terminal Maneuvering Areas (TMAs). The concept, based on 4D trajectories, uses the required time of arrival ... -
The influence of an asymmetrical structure on the vibrations of satellites
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2017-10-31)
Master thesis
Open AccessThis thesis describes the influence of an asymmetric structure on the vibration response of satellites, specifically of CubeSat. Two (numerical) versions of asymmetric structure were created based on fractal geometry, as ... -
