Collaborative Exploration with a Micro Aerial Vehicle: A Novel Interaction Method for Controlling a MAV with a Hand-Held Device
(Advances in Human-Computer Interaction, 2012)
In order to collaboratively explore an environment with a Micro Aerial Vehicle (MAV), an operator needs a mobile interface, which can support the operator’s divided attention. To this end, we developed the Micro Aerial ...
Paying Attention to the Man behind the Curtain
(IEEE, 2011-03)
In the push to develop smart energy systems, designers have increasingly focused on systems that measure and predict user behavior to effect optimal energy consumption. While such focus is an important component in these ...
Three-dimensional incompressible and compressible Beltrami flow through a highly-loaded isolated rotor
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Gas Turbine & Plasma Dynamics Laboratory, [1979], 1979)
An analysis is proposed for the three-dimensional incompressible and compressible Beltrami flow through a heavily loaded isolated rotor. It is found that, in agreement with previous analyses on disturbances in swirling ...
Wake behavior downstream of a transonic compressor rotor
(Cambridge, Mass. : Gas Turbine Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1974, 1974)
Measurements of the static pressure resolved in radial and axial directions downstream of a transonic compressor rotor have been harmonically analyzed. The investigation is part of a program addressing the behavior of ...
Exit flow from a transonic compressor rotor
(Cambridge : Gas Turbine Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1975], 1975)
Summary: The three dimensional unsteady flow field behind a transonic compressor rotor with a design pressure ratio of 1.6 at a tip Mach number of 1.2 has been resolved on the blade-passing time scale, using the M.I.T. ...
Calculation of a self-consistent, low frequency electrostatic field in the drift-kinetic approximation
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Gas Turbine and Plasma Dynamics Laboratory, [1977], 1977)
We derive an asymptotic series in [omega]p -2 , the inverse-square plasma frequency, for the self-consistent, low frequency electrostatic field in tori. The derivation is consistent with the drift-kinetic ordering and may ...
Flutter analysis of a tuned rotor with rigid and flexible disks
(Cambridge : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Gas Turbine & Plasma Dynamics Laboratory, [1979], 1979)
The flutter behavior of a simple tuned rotor with a rigid and a flexible disk is reviewed. In Part A, the rotor assembly is assumed to consist of a rigid disk with N uniform flexible blades attached around the circumference, ...
Stalled flow performance of a single stage transonic compressor
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Gas Turbine & Plasma Dynamics Laboratory, [1978], 1978)
The stalled flow performance of a single stage transonic compressor is examined, using data from the MIT Gas Turbine Laboratory's Blowdown Compressor Facility. Measurements of the blowdown corrected weightflow are included, ...
Mixed-Initiative Strategies for Real-time Scheduling of Multiple Unmanned Vehicles
(American Control Conference, 2012)
Advances in autonomy have made it possible to invert the typical operator-to-unmanned vehicle ratio so that a single operator can now control multiple heterogeneous Unmanned Vehicles (UVs). Real-time scheduling and task ...
Wavefront control in space with MEMS deformable mirrors for exoplanet direct imaging
(SPIE-SOC Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers, 2013-10)
To meet the high contrast requirement of 1 x 10(-10) to image an Earth-like planet around a sun-like star, space telescopes equipped with coronagraphs require wavefront control systems. Deformable mirrors (DMs) are a key ...
