Throughout this thesis, a competitive durable reinforcement design for the Mastenbroek-IJssel reinforcement project is developed and modeled. In 2024 the Drents Overijsselse Delta Water Board began with the exploration phase of the Mastenbroek-IJssel reinforcement project as 10.8 km of the IJssel dike …

This research explores how a heritage-driven, craftsmanship-oriented aesthetic can be effectively translate into digital fashion while retaining its original value. It explores the challenge of simulating traditional techniques in digital garments, focusing on the role of digital technologies such as …

This setup manual is meant to build the hardware for the CHARISMA setup, which contains the SPOT robot, backpack + GPS, gas sensor and beacon. The CHARISMA Demo Manual (KP01) will help to understand how to use software with the setup for autonomous exploration.

Bumping Elbows explores a workflow integrating 3D body scanning technology with robotic knitting to create personalized garments. Traditional 3D knitting development relies on 2D drafts and panels, rooted in industrial flatbed knitting practices. Our approach leverages accurate topology measurements …

This thesis compares Unreal Engine 5 and Blender, focusing on their effectiveness in photorealistic interior visualisations, for 360Fabriek, an immersive media studio in Rotterdam. The primary goal is to determine which rendering engine excels in render setup time efficiency, visual quality, and hardware …

This thesis aimed to understand how Tensar’s current design methods work, in relation to the calculation of working platforms. Thereafter, a full breakdown of each design method’s limitations was addressed, with this thesis focusing on the problem of stratification, in the T-value method. This limitation …

This save-system is vital to the Traingineers project, but due to the chaotic development cycle of the project, it has not yet been implemented. Traingineers started off as a prototype. After this prototype was accepted another one was made, reusing the old code, and then again. Through multiple re-iterations …

Dealing with and maintaining high-quality standards in the design and construction phases is challenging, especially for on-site construction. Issues like improper implementation of building components and poor communication can widen the gap between design specifications and actual conditions. To prevent …

Research Problem: Teaching composition has evolved from focusing on traditional craftsmanship to a more open approach. The shift in teaching methodology emphasises developing personal musical language alongside technical skills, challenging the traditional notion of mastering specific techniques first. …

Many product innovations can benefit from being more adaptive to their environment. Learning adaptive behavior can be time sensitive and complex. For that purpose we created a simulation environment with a reinforcement learning component for developing simple adaptive products. The environment models …
