Inspired by flight characteristics captured from live Monarch butterflies, an optimal control problem is presented while accounting the effects of low-frequency flapping and abdomen undulation. A flapping-wing aerial vehicle is modeled as…

Flapping Wing Micro Air Vehicles (FWMAV) are highly manoeuvrable, bio-inspired drones that can assist in surveys and rescue missions. Flapping wings generate various unsteady lift enhancement mechanisms challenging the derivation of reduced…

Numerical methods that preserves geometric invariants of the system such as energy, momentum and symplectic form, are called geometric integrators. These include variational integrators as an important subclass of geometric integrators. The…

Fluidic locomotion of flapping Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) can be very complex, particularly when the rules from insect flight dynamics (fast flapping dynamics and light wings) are not applicable. In these situations, widely used averaging…

This paper presents a data-driven optimal control policy for a micro flapping wing unmanned aerial vehicle. First, a set of optimal trajectories are computed off-line based on a geometric formulation of dynamics that captures the nonlinear…

We develop a geometric framework for the numerical integration of mechanical systems evolving on manifolds. After briefly reviewing classical numerical methods and highlighting their limitations and shortcomings in non-flat (non-Euclidean)…

This paper shows that the dynamics of a general class of aerial manipulators, consist of an underactuated multi-rotor base with an arbitrary k-linked articulated manipulator, are differentially flat. Methods of Lagrangian Reduction under…

We develop a Poisson Hamiltonian formulation of Pontryagin dynamics for optimal control of mechanical systems on Lie groupoids. The reduced dynamics is formulated intrinsically on the dual Lie algebroid endowed with its canonical linear…

Limbless organisms of all sizes use undulating patterns of self-deformation to locomote. Geometric mechanics, which maps deformations to motions, provides a powerful framework to formalize and investigate the theoretical properties and…

In this article, we generalize the theory of discrete Lagrangian mechanics and variational integrators in two principal directions. First, we show that Lagrangian submanifolds of symplectic groupoids give rise to discrete dynamical systems,…

Controlling of a flapping flight is one of the recent research topics related to the field of Flapping Wing Micro Air Vehicle (FW MAV). In this work, an adaptive control system for a four-wing FW MAV is proposed, inspired by its advanced…

Lagrangian multiform theory is a variational framework for integrable systems. In this article we introduce a new formulation which is based on symplectic geometry and which treats position, momentum and time coordinates of a…

We describe a new method to formulate classical Lagrangian mechanics on a finite-dimensional Lie group. This new approach is much more pedagogical than many previous treatments of the subject, and it directly introduces students to…

This paper formulates optimal control problems for rigid bodies in a geometric manner and it presents computational procedures based on this geometric formulation for numerically solving these optimal control problems. The dynamics of each…

Aerial manipulators (AM) exhibit particularly challenging, non-linear dynamics; the UAV and the manipulator it is carrying form a tightly coupled dynamic system, mutually impacting each other. The mathematical model describing these…

Causal variational principles, which are the analytic core of the physical theory of causal fermion systems, are found to have an underlying Hamiltonian structure, giving a formulation of the dynamics in terms of physical fields in…

We extend the method of controlled Lagrangians with kinetic shaping to those mechanical systems on semidirect product Lie groups with broken symmetry, more specifically to the Euler--Poincar\'e equations with advected parameters. We find a…

The purpose of this paper is to describe geometrically discrete Lagrangian and Hamiltonian Mechanics on Lie groupoids. From a variational principle we derive the discrete Euler-Lagrange equations and we introduce a symplectic 2-section,…

In contrast to the Euler-Poincar{\'e} reduction of geodesic flows of left- or right-invariant metrics on Lie groups to the corresponding Lie algebra (or its dual), one can consider the reduction of the geodesic flows to the group itself.…
