In this paper, we consider the problem of controlling an underactuated system in unknown, and potentially adversarial environments. The emphasis will be on autonomous aerial vehicles, modelled by Dubins dynamics. The proposed control law is…

This article proposes a Novel Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) for navigation and obstacle avoidance of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The proposed NMPC formulation allows for a fully parametric obstacle trajectory, while in…

Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV) have become the de facto vehicle for remote operations involving oceanography, inspection, and monitoring tasks. These vehicles operate in different and often challenging environments; hence, the design…

As off-the-shelf (OTS) autopilots become more widely available and user-friendly and the drone market expands, safer, more efficient, and more complex motion planning and control will become necessary for fixed-wing aerial robotic…

In most classical Autonomous Vehicle (AV) stacks, the prediction and planning layers are separated, limiting the planner to react to predictions that are not informed by the planned trajectory of the AV. This work presents a module that…

This paper considers a multiagent, connected, robotic fleet where the primary functionality of the agents is sensing. A distributed multi-sensor control strategy maximizes the value of the collective sensing capability of the fleet, using…

We consider the problem of online path planning for joint detection and tracking of multiple unknown radio-tagged objects. This is a necessary task for gathering spatio-temporal information using UAVs with on-board sensors in a range of…

This paper presents a novel Learning-based Model Predictive Contouring Control (L-MPCC) algorithm for evasive manoeuvres at the limit of handling. The algorithm uses the Student-t Process (STP) to minimise model mismatches and uncertainties…

As the number of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) operating in low-altitude airspace continues to increase, non-cooperative targets pose growing challenges to low-altitude operations. To address this issue, this paper proposes a…

Autonomous Nano Aerial Vehicles have been increasingly popular in surveillance and monitoring operations due to their efficiency and maneuverability. Once a target location has been reached, drones do not have to remain active during the…

With the proliferation of low altitude unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), visual multi-object tracking is becoming a critical security technology, demanding significant robustness even in complex environmental conditions. However, tracking…

This paper considers the complex problem of a team of UAVs searching targets under uncertainty. The goal of the UAV team is to find all of the moving targets as quickly as possible before they arrive at their selected goal. The uncertainty…

Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) play an essential role in modern ocean exploration, and their speed control systems are fundamental to their efficient operation. Like many other robotic systems, AUVs exhibit multivariable nonlinear…

A Model Predictive Controller for Tracking is introduced for rendezvous with non-cooperative tumbling targets in active debris removal applications. The target's three-dimensional non-periodic rotational dynamics as well as other state and…

Model Predictive Control (MPC) is a powerful technique to control nonlinear, multi-input multi-output systems subject to input and state constraints. It is now a standard tool for trajectory tracking control of automated vehicles. As such…
