2. 1. Magnetic orientation in migratory birds

   Author : Rachel Muheim; Funktionell zoologi; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Animal ecology; Djurekologi; cue-conflict; clock-shift; cue calibration; geomagnetic field; high Arctic latitudes; Emlen funnel; magnetic compass; magnetoreception; navigation; migration; bird; orientation;

   Abstract : My thesis focuses on magnetic orientation in migratory birds, i.e. how they can perceive information from the Earth’s magnetic field and use it for orientation. READ MORE

4. 2. Magnetic map sense in animals: effects of geographic and magnetic displacements

   Author : Jannika Boström; Biologiska institutionen; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Oenanthe oenanthe; skylight polarization; geomagnetic map; geomagnetic field; endogenous migration programme; migratory fuelling; orientation; animal navigation;

   Abstract : Migration research is a large and diverse field and in my thesis I have focused on the impact of geomagnetic cues on animal orientation, navigation and migratory fuelling. Several animal species from widely different taxa possess the ability to sense and make use of geomagnetic information during migratory or homing events. READ MORE

5. 3. Inertial Navigation and Mapping for Autonomous Vehicles

   Author : Martin Skoglund; Fredrik Gustafsson; Thomas Schön; Tim Bailey; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SLAM; Inertial Navigation; Filtering; Smoothing; Cameras; Optimisation; Autonomous;

   Abstract : Navigation and mapping in unknown environments is an important building block for increased autonomy of unmanned vehicles, since external positioning systems can be susceptible to interference or simply being inaccessible. Navigation and mapping require signal processing of vehicle sensor data to estimate motion relative to the surrounding environment and to simultaneously estimate various properties of the surrounding environment.

6. 4. Smart Technologies for Unmanned Surface Vessels : On the Path Towards Full Automation

   Author : Mårten Lager; Institutionen för datavetenskap; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Virtual reality; human interaction; Positioning; Navigation; Unmanned Surface Vessel; Autonomous system; Teleoperation;

   Abstract : As for the automotive industry, large efforts are being made by industry andacademia to create autonomous ships. Te solutions for this is very technologyintense, as many building blocks, often relying on AI technology, need to worktogether to create a complete system that is safe and reliable to use. READ MORE

7. 5. Chip-based magnetic levitation of superconducting microparticles

   Author : Martí Gutierrez Latorre; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : Magnetically levitated superconductors are extremely isolated from the environment, their mechanical properties can be tuned magnetically, and can be coupled to quantum systems such as superconducting quantum circuits. As such, they are a promising experimental platform for the creation of massive spatial quantum states that would test quantum mechanics in a hitherto unexplored parameter regime. READ MORE
