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…
Input Dexterity and Output Negotiation in Feedback-Linearizable Nonlinear Systems
Mirko Mizzoni, Pieter van Goor, Barbara Bazzana +1
We introduce a task-relative taxonomy of actuator inputs for nonlinear systems within the input-output feedback-linearization framework. Given a flat output specifying the task, in…
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…
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…
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…
