Robust Trajectory Tracking Control for Underactuated Autonomous Underwater Vehicles
Shahab Heshmati-alamdari, Alexandros Nikou, Dimos V. Dimarogonas
Motion control of underwater robotic vehicles is a demanding task with great challenges imposed by external disturbances, model uncertainties and constraints of the operating works…
Communication-based Decentralized Cooperative Object Transportation Using Nonlinear Model Predictive Control
Christos K. Verginis, Alexandros Nikou, Dimos V. Dimarogonas
This paper addresses the problem of cooperative transportation of an object rigidly grasped by N robotic agents. We propose a Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) scheme that…
A Robust Force Control Approach for Underwater Vehicle Manipulator Systems
Shahab Heshmati-alamdari, Alexandros Nikou, Kostas J. Kyriakopoulos +1
In various interaction tasks using Underwater Vehicle Manipulator Systems (UVMSs) (e.g. sampling of the sea organisms, underwater welding), important factors such as: i) uncertaint…
Mechanical Design, Modelling and Control of a Novel Aerial Manipulator
Alexandros Nikou, Georgios C. Gavridis, Kostas J. Kyriakopoulos
In this paper a novel aerial manipulation system is proposed. The mechanical structure of the system, the number of thrusters and their geometry will be derived from technical opti…
