Design and Control of a VTOL Aerial Vehicle Tilting its Rotors Only with Rotor Thrusts and a Passive Joint
Takumi Ito, Riku Funada, Mitsuji Sampei
This paper presents a novel VTOL UAV that owns a link connecting four rotors and a fuselage by a passive joint, allowing the control of the rotor's tilting angle by adjusting the r…
Collision Avoidance for Ellipsoidal Rigid Bodies with Control Barrier Functions Designed from Rotating Supporting Hyperplanes
Riku Funada, Koju Nishimoto, Tatsuya Ibuki +1
This paper proposes a collision avoidance method for ellipsoidal rigid bodies, which utilizes a control barrier function (CBF) designed from a supporting hyperplane. We formulate t…
Distributed Coverage Hole Prevention for Visual Environmental Monitoring with Quadcopters via Nonsmooth Control Barrier Functions
Riku Funada, María Santos, Ryuichi Maniwa +4
This paper proposes a distributed coverage control strategy for quadcopters equipped with downward-facing cameras that prevents the appearance of unmonitored areas in between the q…
Collision Avoidance for Elliptical Agents with Control Barrier Function Utilizing Supporting Lines
Koju Nishimoto, Riku Funada, Tatsuya Ibuki +1
This paper presents a collision avoidance method for elliptical agents traveling in a two-dimensional space. We first formulate a separation condition for two elliptical agents uti…
3-D Visual Coverage Based on Gradient Descent Techniques on Matrix Manifold and Its Application to Moving Objects Monitoring
Takeshi Hatanaka, Riku Funada, Masayuki Fujita
This paper investigates coverage control for visual sensor networks based on gradient descent techniques on matrix manifolds. We consider the scenario that networked vision sensors…
