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…
The N-5 Scaling Law: Topological Dimensionality Reduction in the Optimal Design of Fully-actuated Multirotors
Antonio Franchi
The geometric design of fully-actuated and omnidirectional N-rotor aerial vehicles is conventionally formulated as a parametric optimization problem, seeking a single optimal set o…
Switching Among Feedback-Linearizing Output Sets (Melds): Dwell-Time and Compatibility Guarantees
Mirko Mizzoni, Pieter van Goor, Barbara Bazzana +1
We study switching among multiple square selections of output functions (melds) drawn from a deck of candidate outputs for nonlinear systems that are static feedback linearizable v…
Stability Analysis of Geometric Control for a Canonical Class of Underactuated Aerial Vehicles with Spurious Forces
Simone Orelli, Mirko Mizzoni, Antonio Franchi
Standard geometric control relies on force-moment decoupling, an assumption that breaks down in many aerial platforms due to spurious forces naturally induced by control moments. W…
Multi-robot Aerial Soft Manipulator For Floating Litter Collection
Antonio González-Morgado, Sander Smits, Guillermo Heredia +6
Removing floating litter from water bodies is crucial to preserving aquatic ecosystems and preventing environmental pollution. In this work, we present a multi-robot aerial soft ma…
Unified Feedback Linearization for Nonlinear Systems with Dexterous and Energy-Saving Modes
Mirko Mizzoni, Pieter van Goor, Antonio Franchi
Systems with a high number of inputs compared to the degrees of freedom (e.g. a mobile robot with Mecanum wheels) often have a minimal set of energy-efficient inputs needed to achi…
