Co-simulation is a critical approach for the design and analysis of complex cyber-physical systems. It will enhance development efficiency and reduce costs. This paper presents a co-simulation framework integrating ROS 2 and MATLAB/Simulink…

For legged robots, aerial motions are the only option to overpass obstacles that cannot be circumvent with standard locomotion gaits. In these cases, the robot must perform a leap to either jump onto the obstacle or fly over it. However,…

Enabling vertical take-off and landing while providing the ability to fly long ranges opens the door to a wide range of new real-world aircraft applications while improving many existing tasks. Tiltrotor vertical take-off and landing (VTOL)…

Aiming at an obstacle avoidance problem with dynamic constraints for Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV), a method based on Circle Grid Trajectory Cell (CGTC) is proposed. Firstly, the ship model and standardization rules are constructed to…

In this paper, we show how behaviour trees (BTs) can be used to design modular, versatile, and robust control architectures for mission-critical systems. In particular, we show this in the context of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs).…

This work presents an integrated control and software architecture that enables arguably the first fully autonomous, contact-based non-destructive testing (NDT) using a commercial multirotor originally restricted to remotely-piloted…

This paper outlines a complete methodology for modeling an on-orbit servicing mission scenario and designing a feedback control system for the attitude dynamics that is guaranteed to robustly meet pointing requirements, despite model…

Capabilities of long-range flight and vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) are essential for Urban Air Mobility (UAM). Tiltrotor VTOLs have the advantage of balancing control simplicity and system complexity due to their redundant control…

In this article the implementation of a controller and specifically of a Model Predictive Controller (MPC) on an Edge Computing device, for controlling the trajectory of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) model, is examined. MPC requires more…

In this contribution, an intelligent controller is proposed for an underactuated overhead container crane subject to both parameter uncertainties and unmodeled dynamics. The adopted approach is based on the sliding mode method to confer…

This paper presents a novel design for finite-time position control of quadrotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). A robust, finite-time, nonlinear feedback controller is introduced to reject bounded disturbances in tracking tasks. The…

The exponential growth of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) services demands assurances of safety in the airspace. This research a Traffic Control Framework (TCF) for developing digital flight rules for Uncrewed Aircraft System (UAS) flying in…

In trajectory planning and control design for unmanned air vehicles, highly simplified models are typically used to represent the vehicle dynamics and the operating environment. The goal of this work is to perform real-time, but realistic…

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-enabled positioning that uses UAVs as aerial anchor nodes is a promising solution for providing positioning services in harsh environments. In previous research, the state sensing and control of UAVs were…

Quadcopters, as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), have great potential in civil applications such as surveying, building monitoring, and infrastructure condition assessment. Quadcopters, however, are relatively sensitive to noises and…

This paper introduces for the first time the design, modelling, and control of a novel morphing multi-rotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) that we call the OmniMorph. The morphing ability allows the selection of the configuration that…

This work addresses the modelling and control aspects for quadcopter or drone unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). First, the mathematical model of the drone is derived by identifying significant parameters and the negligible ones are treated…

In this paper, a new unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) structure, referred to as swash mass UAV, is presented. It consists of a double blade coaxial shaft rotor and four swash masses that allow changing the orientation and maneuvering the UAV.…

Edge computing is becoming more and more popular among researchers who seek to take advantage of the edge resources and the minimal time delays, in order to run their robotic applications more efficiently. Recently, many edge architectures…
