Real-Time Unified Trajectory Planning and Optimal Control for Urban Autonomous Driving Under Static and Dynamic Obstacle Constraints
Rowan Dempster, Mohammad Al-Sharman, Derek Rayside +1
Trajectory planning and control have historically been separated into two modules in automated driving stacks. Trajectory planning focuses on higher-level tasks like avoiding obsta…
RALACs: Action Recognition in Autonomous Vehicles using Interaction Encoding and Optical Flow
Eddy Zhou, Alex Zhuang, Alikasim Budhwani +6
When applied to autonomous vehicle (AV) settings, action recognition can enhance an environment model's situational awareness. This is especially prevalent in scenarios where tradi…
Sim-to-Real Domain Adaptation for Lane Detection and Classification in Autonomous Driving
Chuqing Hu, Sinclair Hudson, Martin Ethier +3
While supervised detection and classification frameworks in autonomous driving require large labelled datasets to converge, Unsupervised Domain Adaptation (UDA) approaches, facilit…
End-Effector Stabilization of a 10-DOF Mobile Manipulator using Nonlinear Model Predictive Control
Mostafa Osman, Mohamed W. Mehrez, Shiyi Yang +2
Motion control of mobile manipulators (a robotic arm mounted on a mobile base) can be challenging for complex tasks such as material and package handling. In this paper, a task-spa…
Modeling, Vibration Control, and Trajectory Tracking of a Kinematically Constrained Planar Hybrid Cable-Driven Parallel Robot
Ronghuai Qi, Amir Khajepour, William W. Melek
This paper presents a kinematically constrained planar hybrid cable-driven parallel robot (HCDPR) for warehousing applications as well as other potential applications such as rehab…
Redundancy Resolution and Disturbance Rejection via Torque Optimization in Hybrid Cable-Driven Robots
Ronghuai Qi, Amir Khajepour, William W. Melek
This paper presents redundancy resolution and disturbance rejection via torque optimization in Hybrid Cable-Driven Robots (HCDRs). To begin with, we initiate a redundant HCDR for n…
Learning in the Sky: An Efficient 3D Placement of UAVs
Atefeh Hajijamali Arani, M. Mahdi Azari, William Melek +1
Deployment of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as aerial base stations can deliver a fast and flexible solution for serving varying traffic demand. In order to adequately benefit of…
Generalized Flexible Hybrid Cable-Driven Robot (HCDR): Modeling, Control, and Analysis
Ronghuai Qi, Amir Khajepour, William W. Melek
This paper presents a generalized flexible Hybrid Cable-Driven Robot (HCDR). For the proposed HCDR, the derivation of the equations of motion and proof provide a very effective way…
