Whole-Body Trajectory Optimization for Robot Multimodal Locomotion
Giuseppe L'Erario, Gabriele Nava, Giulio Romualdi +4
The general problem of planning feasible trajectories for multimodal robots is still an open challenge. This paper presents a whole-body trajectory optimisation approach that addre…
A Flexible MATLAB/Simulink Simulator for Robotic Floating-base Systems in Contact with the Ground
Nuno Guedelha, Venus Pasandi, Giuseppe L'Erario +2
Physics simulators are widely used in robotics fields, from mechanical design to dynamic simulation, and controller design. This paper presents an open-source MATLAB/Simulink simul…
Modeling and Control of Morphing Covers for the Adaptive Morphology of Humanoid Robots
Fabio Bergonti, Gabriele Nava, Luca Fiorio +2
This article takes a step to provide humanoid robots with adaptive morphology abilities. We present a systematic approach for enabling robotic covers to morph their shape, with an…
Nonlinear Model Identification and Observer Design for Thrust Estimation of Small-scale Turbojet Engines
Affaf Junaid Ahamad Momin, Gabriele Nava, Giuseppe LErario +5
Jet-powered vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) drones require precise thrust estimation to ensure adequate stability margins and robust maneuvering. Small-scale turbojets have bec…
Centroidal Aerodynamic Modeling and Control of Flying Multibody Robots
Tong Hui, Antonello Paolino, Gabriele Nava +5
This paper presents a modeling and control framework for multibody flying robots subject to non-negligible aerodynamic forces acting on the centroidal dynamics. First, aerodynamic…
Online Non-linear Centroidal MPC for Humanoid Robot Locomotion with Step Adjustment
Giulio Romualdi, Stefano Dafarra, Giuseppe L'Erario +3
This paper presents a Non-Linear Model Predictive Controller for humanoid robot locomotion with online step adjustment capabilities. The proposed controller considers the Centroida…
