Algorithmic Multi-Ported Memories Enabled Power-Efficient Pre-Distorter Design in ASIC / Algorithmiska multi-portad minnen möjliggjorde energieffektiv design av förvrängningskompenserare i ASIC

Shen, Xuying January 2023 (has links)
The transition from the 5G to the 6G era is a pivotal juncture in contemporary wireless communication. Under such a circumstance, Digital Pre-Distortion (DPD) technology has established its significance as an effective method to linearize Power Amplifiers. However, DPD is facing a series of challenges, notably the increased bandwidth which necessitates more complex modeling techniques. This thesis focuses on the fact that the DPD requires multi-ported memories for the Look-Up-Tables to store correction coefficients, where two research questions are identified. Firstly, this thesis analyses the power, area, and delay-performance trade-offs with an increase in the number of read and write ports of Flip-Flop (FF)-based memories. Secondly, this thesis evaluates and compares the performance of the conventional FF-based multi-ported memories and algorithmic FF-based multi-ported memories. As a Master’s thesis project, this research utilizes the knowledge and practice skills expected of a Master’s student specializing in Embedded Systems. In this thesis, conventional and algorithmic multi-ported memories are implemented and evaluated after studying related works. Subsequently, an industrial Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) design flow is executed, undergoing iterative refinements. And in the end, the conclusions are drawn based on an analysis of the software reports. The results underscore that area and power consumption exhibit linear growth alongside increased port numbers within conventional multi-ported memories. Also, the algorithmic multi-ported memory presents a promising alternative, engendering improvements across all three dimensions of delay, area, and power consumption. The implemented memories can be integrated into DPD forward path with customized port numbers in the future, offering adaptability in terms of port configuration and better performance in terms of timing, area and power. Additionally, these implemented memories stand as a valuable point of reference for engineers engaged in the development of FF-based multi-ported memories within the context of ASIC. / Övergången från den 5G- till den 6G- eran är en avgörande tidpunkt inom samtida trådlös kommunikation. Under sådana omständigheter har DPDtekniken etablerat sin betydelse som en effektiv metod för att linjärisera effektförstärkare. Dock står DPD inför en rad utmaningar, särskilt den ökade bandbredden som kräver mer komplexa modelleringstekniker. Denna avhandling fokuserar på det faktum att DPD kräver flerportsminnen för att Look-Up-Tables ska lagra korrigeringskoefficienter, där två forskningsfrågor identifieras. För det första analyserar denna avhandling effekt- , area- och fördröjningsprestanda-avvägningar med en ökning av antalet läs- och skrivportar för FF-baserade minnen. För det andra utvärderar och jämför denna avhandling prestandan hos konventionella FF-baserade multiportade minnen och algoritmiska FF-baserade multiportade minnen. Som ett masteruppsatsprojekt använder denna forskning de kunskaper och övningsfärdigheter som förväntas av en masterstudent som specialiserar sig på inbyggda system. I denna avhandling implementeras och utvärderas konventionella och algoritmiska flerportade minnen efter att ha studerat relaterade arbeten. Nästa steg är att genomföra en industriell ASIC-designflöde som genomgår iterativa förbättringar. Och till slut dras slutsatserna baserat på en analys av mjukvarurapporterna. Denna avhandling understryker att area och strömförbrukning ökar linjärt med ökade portnummer inom konventionella flerportade minnen. Å andra sidan presenterar det algoritmiska flerportade minnet ett lovande alternativ och ger förbättringar inom alla tre dimensioner av fördröjning, area och strömförbrukning. De implementerade minnena kan integreras i DPD-signalförloppet med anpassade portnummer i framtiden och erbjuda anpassningsbarhet när det gäller portkonfiguration och bättre prestanda vad gäller tid, area och ström. Dessutom utgör dessa implementerade minnen en värdefull referenspunkt för ingenjörer som är engagerade i utvecklingen av FF-baserade flerportade minnen inom ramen för ASIC.

Development of an Autonomous Extraction System for Ultra-Centrifuged Fluids

Aayush Mathur (18431358) 28 April 2024 (has links)
<p dir="ltr">A fluid extraction device designed to extract bands of fluid from an ultracentrifuged vial was developed. To do this, a computer vision system was developed to scan the vial and detect the bands and calculate their positions. The computer vision was performed using a TSL1401 DB linescan camera. The vial was scanned by moving the vial vertically in front of the camera using a stepper motor driven linear stage. Pixel data from the line scan camera was analysed to find the edges of each band. This was done by analyzing the first and second derivatives of smoothed pixel data. When the second derivative was 0 and the first derivative was greater than a threshold value, a band edge was detected. Needles were connected to linear actuators and were used to puncture the vials at the desired band's position. After puncturing the vial, fluid was extracted from the vials using a peristaltic pump and placed in a reservoir. Several control architectures were tested an used to control the system. The final control architecture used a LattePanda miniPC to control the system. Several iterations of the fluid extraction device were also created, with the final iteration meeting all the requirements for the device.</p>

<p dir="ltr">Unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) offer a versatile platform for various maritime applications, including research, surveillance, and search-and-rescue operations. A critical capability for USVs is maintaining position (station keeping) in dynamic environments and coordinating movement with other USVs (formation control) for collaborative missions. This thesis investigates control strategies for USVs operating in challenging conditions. </p><p dir="ltr">The initial focus is on evaluating traditional control methods like Backstepping and Sliding Mode controllers for station keeping in simulated environments with disturbances. The results from these tests pointed towards the need for a more robust control technique, like deep-learning based control for enhanced performance. </p><p dir="ltr">The thesis then explores formation control, a crucial aspect of cooperative USV missions. A vision-based passive control strategy utilizing a virtual leader concept is proposed. This approach leverages onboard cameras to detect markers on other USVs, eliminating the need for direct communication and potentially improving scalability and resilience. </p><p dir="ltr">Then the thesis presents vision-based formation control architecture and the station keeping controller evaluations.

<b>A MOBILE, MODULAR,AND SELF-RECONFIGURABLE ROBOTIC SYSTEM WITH MORPHABILITY</b><b>, </b><b>and</b><b> self-reconfigurable robotic system with morphability</b>

Lu Anh Tu Vu (17612166) 15 December 2023 (has links)
<p dir="ltr">This paper aims to gain a deep understanding of up-to-date research and development on modular self-reconfigurable robots (MSRs) through a thorough survey of market demands and published works on <i>design methodologies</i>, <i>system integration</i>, <i>advanced controls</i>, and <i>new applications</i>. Some limitations of existing mobile MSR are discussed from the reconfigurability perspective of mechanical structures, and a novel MSR system is proposed to address the identified limitations of existing MSRs. The comprehensive set of <i>Functional Requirements</i> (FRs) of MSRs is discussed, from which the mechanical designs of MSR were created, and the system was prototyped and built for testing. Three main innovations of the designed modules for MSR are to (1) share torque power, (2) customize the size for a given task, and (3) have a low number of actuated motors while still maintain a motion with high <i>Degrees of Freedom</i> (DoF) to overcome the constraints by the power capacities of individual motors; this helps to increase reconfigurability, reduce cost, and reduce the size of conventional MSRs.</p>

Commissioning of a FPGA/DSP unit for Centralized Control of a Variable Phase Pole Multiphase Machine / Programmering av FPGA/DSP för Styrning av Multifasmaskin med Variabel fas pol Konfiguration

Hansson, Jonas January 2022 (has links)
Multiphase Electrical Machines (MPEMs) with variable phase-pole configurations have recently gained interest as it offers advantages such as a larger operating range and improved fault tolerance compared to more traditional MPEMs. The current state-of-the-art modeling and control method, Vector Space Decomposition (VSD), has the drawback of introducing discontinuities in the model when transitioning from one phase-pole configuration to another. The newly developed Harmonic Plane Decomposition (HPD) theory, which is an extension of the VSD, solves this issue by unifying all possible phase-pole configurations into one transformation. To enable further research on HPD theory and MPEMs with variable phase-pole configuration, a test bench is desired to obtain experimental results. The Sustainable Power Lab at KTH already possesses a MPEM with varying phase-pole configurations, the Wound Independently- Controlled Stator Coils machine (WICSC machine), but is missing a complete drive that can capitalize on the additional degrees of freedom that the machine offers. The aim of the thesis is to commission the test bench by implementing HPD control on a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) and design the missing hardware required to close the signal chain. The HPD control was implemented on a Xilinx System on a Chip (SoC) programmed using C and hardware description languages. Part of the control was tested but due to issues with the data acquisition, the complete control was not managed to be fully tested and verified. For the missing hardware, three Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) were designed for the test bench. Two of them were built and tested, and one PCB was designed but not fabricated during the project. / Multifasmaskiner med variabel fas pol konfiguration har på senaste tiden fått mer uppmärksamhet på grund av fördelar som mer operationspunkter och förbättrad feltolerans jämfört mot mer traditionella multifasmaskiner. Den modernaste metoden, Vector Space Decomposition (VSD), för att styra traditionella multifasmaskiner har nackdelen att modellen blir diskontinuerlig när man går från en fas pol konfiguration till en annan. Den nyutvecklade Harmonic Plane Decomposition (HPD) teorin, vilket är en påbyggnad på VSD, löser det problemet genom att samla alla möjliga fas pol konfigurationer till en transform. För att fortsätta forskningen kring HPD och multifasmaskiner med variabel fas pol konfiguration behövs en testbänk för att kunna skaffa experimentella resultat. Elkraftlabbet på KTH har redan investerat i en multifasmaskin med variabel fas pol konfiguration, men saknar en komplett växelriktare som kan utnyttja maskinens alla frihetsgrader. Målet med projektet var att färdigställa testbänken genom att implementera HPD styrningen på en processor och konstruera hårdvara som testbänken saknade. HPD styrningen implementerades på en systemkrets från Xilinx och programmerades med C och hårdvarubeskrivande språk. Delar av styrningen kunde testas men på grund av problem med inläsningen av data så gick det inte att verifiera hela den implementerade styrningen. Till testbänken konstruerades också tre kretskort varav två byggdes, testades och fick sin funktionalitet verifierad. Det andra kretskortet konstruerades men blev inte tillverkat under projektet.

<b>DESIGN AND AUTONOMOUS TESTING OF A LOWER LIMB PROSTHESIS</b>

Ahmed Khaled Soliman (18414030) 19 April 2024 (has links)
<p dir="ltr">Over 150,000 people undergo lower-extremity amputations yearly in the United States. In recent years, multiple efforts have been made to improve the human-robot interaction between amputees and active lower limb prostheses. Using lightweight wearable technologies has been a viable solution to implement algorithms that can estimate gait kinematics and prosthesis users’ intent. Examples of wearable technologies include inertial measurement units, strain gauges, and electromyography sensors. Kinematic and force data is inputted into an Error-State Kalman filter to estimate the inversion-eversion, external-internal, and dorsiflexion-plantarflexion ankle angle. The filter tracked the ankle angle with an accuracy of 0.7724°, 0.8826°, and 1.3520°, respectively. The gait phase was estimated using a linear regression model based on a shank kinematics ground truth pattern with an average normalized accuracy of 97.79 %. A numerical simulation of a gait emulator in the form of a 3-Revolute-Prismatic-Revolute (3-RPR) manipulator. The gait emulator can test lower limb prostheses independent of human subjects, eliminating many hurdles associated with human subject testing. The manipulator was simulated with two control strategies: a traditional PID and a hybrid PID + Active Force Control controller (AFC). The hybrid PID+AFC provided higher accuracy in tracking the desired end-effector trajectory due to improved disturbance rejection. A low-cost surface electromyography (sEMG) platform was developed to robustly acquire sEMG signals, with an overall component cost of 35.06 US$. The sEMG platform integrates directly into a Micro:bit microcontroller through an expansion board. During testing with human subjects, sEMG Micro:bit platform had a reported average signal-to-noise ratio of 24.7 dB.</p>

Monreal Trigo, Javier 02 June 2023 (has links)
[ES] La capacidad de las células madre para proliferar formando distintas células especializadas les otorga la potencialidad de servir de base para terapias efectivas para patologías cuyo tratamiento era inimaginable hasta hace apenas dos décadas. Sin embargo, esta capacidad se encuentra mediada por estímulos fisiológicos, químicos, y eléctricos, específicos y complejos, que dificultan su traslación a la rutina clínica. Por ello, las células madre representan un campo de estudio en el que se invierten amplios esfuerzos por parte de la comunidad científica. En el ámbito de la regeneración nerviosa, para modular su desarrollo y diferenciación el tratamiento farmacológico, la electroestimulación, y la estimulación optogenética son técnicas que están consiguiendo prometedores resultados. Es por ello por lo que en la presente tesis se ha desarrollado un conjunto de sistemas electrónicos para permitir la aplicación combinada de estas técnicas in vitro, con perspectiva a su aplicación in vivo. Hemos diseñado una novedosa tecnología para la liberación eléctricamente controlada de fármacos. Esta tecnología está basada en nanopartículas de sílice mesoporosa y puertas moleculares de bipiridina-heparina. Las puertas moleculares son electroquímicamente reactivas, y encierran los fármacos en el interior de las nanopartículas, liberándolos ante un estímulo eléctrico. Hemos caracterizado esta tecnología, y la hemos validado mediante la liberación controlada de rodamina en cultivos celulares de HeLa. Para la combinación de liberación controlada de fármacos y electroestimulación hemos desarrollado dispositivos que permiten aplicar los estímulos eléctricos de forma configurable desde una interfaz gráfica de usuario. Además, hemos diseñado un módulo de expansión que permite multiplexar las señales eléctricas a diferentes cultivos celulares. Además, hemos diseñado un dispositivo de estimulación optogenética. Este tipo de estimulación consiste en la modificación genética de las células para que sean sensibles a la radiación lumínica de determinada longitud de onda. En el ámbito de la regeneración de tejido mediante células precursoras neurales, es de interés poder inducir ondas de calcio, favoreciendo su diferenciación en neuronas y la formación de circuitos sinápticos. El dispositivo diseñado permite obtener imágenes en tiempo real mediante microscopía confocal de las respuestas transitorias de las células al ser irradiadas. El dispositivo se ha validado irradiando neuronas modificadas con luz pulsada de 100 ms. También hemos diseñado un dispositivo electrónico complementario de medida de irradiancia con el doble fin de permitir la calibración del equipo de irradiancia y medir la irradiancia en tiempo real durante los experimentos in vitro. Los resultados del uso de los bioactuadores en procesos complejos y dinámicos, como la regeneración de tejido nervioso, son limitados en lazo abierto. Uno de los principales aspectos analizados es el desarrollo de biosensores que permitiesen la cuantización de ciertas biomoléculas para ajustar la estimulación suministrada en tiempo real. Por ejemplo, la segregación de serotonina es una respuesta identificada en la elongación de células precursoras neurales, pero hay otras biomoléculas de interés para la implementación de un control en lazo cerrado. Entre las tecnologías en el estado del arte, los biosensores basados en transistores de efecto de campo (FET) funcionalizados con aptámeros son realmente prometedores para esta aplicación. Sin embargo, esta tecnología no permitía la medición simultánea de más de una biomolécula objetivo en un volumen reducido debido a las interferencias entre los distintos FETs, cuyos terminales se encuentran inmersos en la solución. Por ello, hemos desarrollado instrumentación electrónica capaz de medir simultáneamente varios de estos biosensores, y la hemos validado mediante la medición simultánea de pH y la detección preliminar de serotonina y glutamato. / [CA] La capacitat de les cèl·lules mare per a proliferar formant diferents cèl·lules especialitzades els atorga la potencialitat de servir de base per a teràpies efectives per a patologies el tractament de les quals era inimaginable fins fa a penes dues dècades.

Aquest tipus d'estimulació consisteix en la modificació genètica de les cèl·lules perquè siguen sensibles a la radiació lumínica de determinada longitud d'ona. En l'àmbit de la regeneració de teixit mitjançant cèl·lules precursores neurals, és d'interés poder induir ones de calci, afavorint la seua diferenciació en neurones i la formació de circuits sinàptics.

However, this capacity is mediated by specific and complex physiological, chemical, and electrical stimuli that complicate their translation to clinical routine. For this reason, stem cells represent a field of study in which the scientific community is investing a great deal of effort. In the field of nerve regeneration, to modulate their development and differentiation, pharmacological treatment, electrostimulation, and optogenetic stimulation are techniques that are achieving promising results. For this reason, we have developed a set of electronic systems to allow the combined application of these techniques in vitro, with a view to their application in vivo. We have designed a novel technology for the electrically controlled release of drugs. This technology is based on mesoporous silica nanoparticles and bipyridine-heparin molecular gates. The molecular gates are electrochemically reactive and entrap the drugs inside the nanoparticles, releasing them upon electrical stimulus. We have characterized this technology and validated it by controlled release of rhodamine in HeLa cell cultures. For combining electrostimulation and controlled drug release we have developed devices that allow applying the different electrical stimuli in a configurable way from a graphical user interface. In addition, we have designed an expansion module that allows multiplexing electrical signals to different cell cultures. In addition, we have designed an optogenetic stimulation device. This type of stimulation consists of genetically modifying cells to make them sensitive to light radiation of a specific wavelength. In tissue regeneration using neural precursor cells, it is interesting to be able to induce calcium waves, favoring the cell differentiation into neurons and the formation of synaptic circuits. The designed device enable the obtention of real-time images through confocal microscopy of the transient responses of cells upon irradiation. The device has been validated by irradiating modified neurons with 100 ms pulsed light stimulation. We have also designed a complementary electronic irradiance measurement device to allow calibration of the irradiator equipment and measuring irradiance in real time during in vitro experiments. The results of using bioactuators in complex and dynamic processes, such as nerve tissue regeneration, are limited in an open loop. One of the main aspects analyzed is the development of biosensors that would allow quantifying of specific biomolecules to adjust the stimulation provided in real time. For instance, serotonin secretion is an identified response of neural precursor cells elongation, among other biomolecules of interest for the implementation of a closed-loop control. Among the state-of-the-art technologies, biosensors based on field effect transistors (FETs) functionalized with aptamers are promising for this application. However, this technology did not allow the simultaneous measurement of more than one target biomolecule in a small volume due to interferences between the different FETs, whose terminals are immersed in the solution. This is why we have developed electronic instrumentation capable of simultaneously measuring several of these biosensors, and we have validated it with the simultaneous pH measurement and the preliminary detection of serotonin and glutamate. / Monreal Trigo, J.

Enhancing Creative, Learning and Collaborative Experiences through Augmented Reality-compatible Internet-of-Things Devices

Pashin Farsak Raja (15348238) 29 April 2023 (has links)
<p>The "Maker Movement" is a cultural phenomena rooted in DIY culture, which stresses making devices and creations on your own rather than purchasing it ready-made. At the core of the Maker Movement, is the "Maker Mindset"; a collection of attitudes, beliefs and behaviors that emphasize the importance of creativity, experimentation and innovation in the learning process. Since the Maker Mindset embodies constructionist principles at its core that push makers to experiment and problem-solve by collaborating with fellow makers through hands-on activities, it can be said that these activities comprise of Creative, Learning and Collaborative experiences. While Internet-of-Things devices have long been used to enhance these activities, research pertaining to using Augmented Reality in tandem with IoT for the purpose of enhancing experiences core to the Maker Mindset is relatively unexplored. Three different systems were developed with the goal of addressing this -- MicrokARts, ShARed IoT and MechARspace. Each system focuses on enhancing one of the three core experiences through AR-compatible IoT devices, whilst ensuring that they do not require prerequisite knowledge in order to author AR experiences. These systems were evaluated through user studies and testing over a variety of age-groups, with each system successfully enhancing one core experience each through the use of AR-IoT interactions.</p>
