STL-Based Motion Planning and Uncertainty-Aware Risk Analysis for Human-Robot Collaboration with a Multi-Rotor Aerial Vehicle
Giuseppe Silano, Amr Afifi, Martin Saska +1
This paper presents a motion planning and risk analysis framework for enhancing human-robot collaboration with a Multi-Rotor Aerial Vehicle. The proposed method employs Signal Temp…
Sensitivity-Based Robust NMPC for Close-Proximity Offshore Wind Turbine Inspection with a Tilted Multirotor
Giuseppe Silano, Martin Saska
Close-proximity offshore wind turbine inspection requires strict clearance control around large cylindrical structures under wind and model mismatch. Nominal Nonlinear Model Predic…
Communications-Aware NMPC for Multi-Rotor Aerial Relay Networks Under Jamming Interference
Giuseppe Silano, Daniel Bonilla Licea, Davide Liuzza +2
Multi-Rotor Aerial Vehicles (MRAVs) are increasingly used in communication-dependent missions where connectivity loss directly compromises task execution. Existing anti-jamming str…
