A tethered marsupial robotics system comprises three components: an Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV), an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), and a tether connecting both robots. Marsupial systems are highly beneficial in industry as they extend the…
Autonomous systems, such as self-driving cars and drones, have made significant strides in recent years by leveraging visual inputs and machine learning for decision-making and control. Despite their impressive performance, these…
The success of surveillance applications involving small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) depends on how long the limited on-board power would persist. To cope with this challenge, alternative renewable sources of lift are sought. One…
The interaction of robots with bendable objects in midair presents significant challenges in control, often resulting in performance degradation and potential crashes, especially for aerial robots due to their limited actuation capabilities…
We consider a two-level discrete-time control framework with real-time constraints where a central controller issues setpoints to be implemented by local controllers. The local controllers implement the setpoints with some approximation and…
We present a novel haptic teleoperation approach that considers not only the safety but also the stability of a teleoperation system. Specifically, we build upon previous work on haptic shared control, which uses control barrier functions…
Quadcopters have been studied for decades thanks to their maneuverability and capability of operating in a variety of circumstances. However, quadcopters suffer from dynamical nonlinearity, actuator saturation, as well as sensor noise that…
Take-off and landing are the most important maneuvers for an aircraft's flight. Deployment for small fixed-wing aircraft is usually made by hand but when payload increases, take-off, and landing maneuvers are then performed on a runway…
Overactuated tilt-rotor platforms offer many advantages over traditional fixed-arm drones, allowing the decoupling of the applied force from the attitude of the robot. This expands their application areas to aerial interaction and…
Current engineering design trends, such as light-weight machines and humanmachine-interaction, often lead to underactuated systems. Output trajectory tracking of such systems is a challenging control problem. Here, we use a twodesign-degree…
Civil applications for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have increased rapidly over the last few years. In the realm of civil applications, many aircraft carry cameras that are physically fixed to the airframe. While this yields a simple and…
