Rplidar A2 Accuracy, Ramiro O. Garcia Sep 2019

Rplidar A2 Accuracy, Ramiro O. Garcia

STAR Program Research Presentations

Traffic is not only a source of frustration but also a leading cause of death for people under 35 years of age. Recent research has focused on how driver assistance technology can be used to mitigate traffic fatalities and create more enjoyable commutes. In addition, self-driving vehicles can reduce fuel consumption the amount by 5% and increases the number of cars on the highway. To achieve this we need to research reliable sensors. This summer I research Rplidar A2 sensor which hopefully will be responsible for recording distance to the preceding car and helping prevent Insider Attacks or Misbehaviors of …


Design And Analysis Of An Instrumenting Profiler For Webassembly, Chandler Gifford Jun 2019

Design And Analysis Of An Instrumenting Profiler For Webassembly, Chandler Gifford

Master's Theses

This thesis presents the design, implementation, and analysis of WasmProf, an instrumenting profiler for WebAssembly programs. WebAssembly is a compiled language designed for use on the web that, at the time of this writing, is still being actively developed. At present, performance analysis for WebAssembly programs mostly consists of browsers’ built-in sampling profilers. These profilers work well in many cases but only give a statistical estimation of the distribution of function calls and are, therefore, not well-suited for more fine-grained analysis. The WasmProf instrumenting profiler fills this analysis gap. WasmProf is capable of tracking the number of calls made and …


Supported Programming For Beginning Developers, Andrew Gilbert Mar 2019

Supported Programming For Beginning Developers, Andrew Gilbert

Master's Theses

Testing code is important, but writing test cases can be time consuming, particularly for beginning programmers who are already struggling to write an implementation. We present TestBuilder, a system for test case generation which uses an SMT solver to generate inputs to reach specified lines in a function, and asks the user what the expected outputs would be for those inputs. The resulting test cases check the correctness of the output, rather than merely ensuring the code does not crash. Further, by querying the user for expectations, TestBuilder encourages the programmer to think about what their code ought to do, …
