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…
A Comparative Study of INDI and NDI with Nonlinear Disturbance Observer for Aerial Robotics
Benedetta Rota, Mirko Mizzoni, Amr Afifi +2
This work presents a simulation-based comparative robustness analysis of Incremental Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion (INDI) and Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion augmented with a nonlinear d…
Impact-Robust Posture Optimization for Aerial Manipulation
Amr Afifi, Ahmad Gazar, Javier Alonso-Mora +2
We present a novel method for optimizing the posture of kinematically redundant torque-controlled robots to improve robustness during impacts. A rigid impact model is used as the b…
Input-Output Extension of Underactuated Nonlinear Systems
Mirko Mizzoni, Amr Afifi, Antonio Franchi
This letter proposes a method to integrate auxiliary actuators that enhance the task space capabilities of commercial underactuated systems, leaving the internal certified low leve…
