Dynamic and Distributed Optimization for the Allocation of Aerial Swarm Vehicles
Jason Hughes, Dominic Larkin, Charles O'Donnell +1
Optimal transport (OT) is a framework that can guide the design of efficient resource allocation strategies in a network of multiple sources and targets. This paper applies discret…
Comparing Feedback Linearization and Adaptive Backstepping Control for Airborne Orientation of Agile Ground Robots using Wheel Reaction Torque
Jinho Kim, Daniel J. Gonzalez, Christopher M. Korpela
In this paper, two nonlinear methods for stabilizing the orientation of a Four-Wheel Independent Drive and Steering (4WIDS) robot while in the air are analyzed, implemented in simu…
Dynamics and Aerial Attitude Control for Rapid Emergency Deployment of the Agile Ground Robot AGRO
Daniel J. Gonzalez, Mark C. Lesak, Andres H. Rodriguez +2
In this work we present a Four-Wheeled Independent Drive and Steering (4WIDS) robot named AGRO and a method of controlling its orientation while airborne using wheel reaction torqu…
A Monte Carlo Approach to Closing the Reality Gap
Damian Lyons, James Finocchiaro, Michael Novitzky +1
We propose a novel approach to the 'reality gap' problem, i.e., modifying a robot simulation so that its performance becomes more similar to observed real world phenomena. This pro…
