Custom PX4 firmware for autonomous hybrid aerial-marine missions
Andrea Capuozzo, Fabio Ruggiero, Vincenzo Lippiello
Mapping and monitoring aquatic environments can benefit from hybrid aerial-amphibious drones able to combine flight and water-surface navigation within the same mission. This paper…
CA-AC-MPC: CUDA-Accelerated Actor-Critic Model Predictive Control
Antoonio Buo, Vittorio Cammarota, Michele Avagnale +3
In the literature, actor-critic model predictive control (AC-MPC) integrates MPC with reinforcement learning to enable high-performance control of complex dynamical systems. Howeve…
HATPIC: An Open-Source Single Axis Haptic Joystick for Robotic Development
Julien Mellet, Fabio Ruggiero, Vincenzo Lippiello
Humans process significantly more information through the sense of touch than through vision. Consequently, haptics for telemanipulation is poised to become essential in the coming…
Assisted Physical Interaction: Autonomous Aerial Robots with Neural Network Detection, Navigation, and Safety Layers
Andrea Berra, Viswa Narayanan Sankaranarayanan, Achilleas Santi Seisa +10
The paper introduces a novel framework for safe and autonomous aerial physical interaction in industrial settings. It comprises two main components: a neural network-based target d…
Design of a Flexible Robot Arm for Safe Aerial Physical Interaction
Julien Mellet, Andrea Berra, Achilleas Santi Seisa +7
This paper introduces a novel compliant mechanism combining lightweight and energy dissipation for aerial physical interaction. Weighting 400~g at take-off, the mechanism is actuat…
Design and Control of an Omnidirectional Aerial Robot with a Miniaturized Haptic Joystick for Physical Interaction
Julien Mellet, Andrea Berra, Salvatore Marcellini +4
Fully actuated aerial robot proved their superiority for Aerial Physical Interaction (APhI) over the past years. This work proposes a minimal setup for aerial telemanipulation, enh…
AERIAL-CORE: AI-Powered Aerial Robots for Inspection and Maintenance of Electrical Power Infrastructures
Anibal Ollero, Alejandro Suarez, Christos Papaioannidis +27
Large-scale infrastructures are prone to deterioration due to age, environmental influences, and heavy usage. Ensuring their safety through regular inspections and maintenance is c…
Finite-time disturbance reconstruction and robust fractional-order controller design for hybrid port-Hamiltonian dynamics of biped robots
Yousef Farid, Fabio Ruggiero
In this paper, disturbance reconstruction and robust trajectory tracking control of biped robots with hybrid dynamics in the port-Hamiltonian form is investigated. A new type of Ha…
Linear Time-Varying MPC for Nonprehensile Object Manipulation with a Nonholonomic Mobile Robot
Filippo Bertoncelli, Fabio Ruggiero, Lorenzo Sabattini
This paper proposes a technique to manipulate an object with a nonholonomic mobile robot by pushing, which is a nonprehensile manipulation motion primitive. Such a primitive involv…
